Simulating SKA Telescope’s Massive Dataflow using the Summit Supercomputer

Researchers are using the Summit Supercomputer at ORNL to simulate the massive dataflow of the future SKA telescope. “The SKA simulation on Summit marks the first time radio astronomy data have been processed at such a large scale and proves that scientists have the expertise, software tools, and computing resources that will be necessary to process and understand real data from the SKA.”
