Large astronomical facilities generate an ever-increasing data volume, rapidly approaching the exascale, following the need for better resolution, better sensitivity, and larger wavelength coverage. Modern radio astronomy is strongly affected, especially regarding giant radio interferometers that produce large quantities of raw data. In particular, the forthcoming arrival of the SKA (Square...
The field of experimental astronomy is entering an exciting new era, with the emergence of extremely large telescopes, hosts to primary mirrors the size of several basketball courts. Among the many challenges associated with the construction and operations of such giant scientific infrastructures, the complexity of embedded computing facilities is notably heavy. In particular, the real-time...
