Description
As radio astronomy data rates continue to increase due to the desire for more bandwidth and larger radio telescope arrays, the need to process data in a timely and efficient manner correspondingly increases. While the computing and networking industries continue to push hardware to higher and higher levels of performance, reaping the benefits of these improvements can be non-trivial and often requires expertise that is not ubiquitous in the astronomy community. This talk will describe some of the reasons for these challenges and explore ways to surmount them.
