Cooperative Research Centres, and involves interactive access to large data sets via on-line processing services. The program applies expertise in multi-processor architectures for data archives, distributed computing and earth observation data processing.
Objectives Enable on-demand access to large distributed archives of earth observation data.
Current focus is on Earth observation applications - for example, emergency services involving environmental data and meteorological forecasts. The Program has continued to produce demonstrable prototypes as a way of designing and evaluating distributed high-performance computing infrastructure to support these applications. The research team at the University of Adelaide has been strengthened and now has four researchers and six postgraduate students. This project also feeds user-requirements analysis into the infrastructure design work. Achievements Infrastructure Considerable effort has been spent on preparing large data sets for the demonstrations.
