>No, the 15 minute turn around time is not important given the dataset we have at the moment, but showing that it was possible to do was considered important from a science perspective, because of the upcoming LSST telescope. LSST will generate an amount of data equivalent to the full dataset we had available every 3-4 days, so being able to scale this up far enough to accommodate that as well as future planned extensions to the algorithm, necessitated showing scale. The actual science runs by the project are usually done on a few hundred nodes over a couple of hours. I've heard that the folks working on the EHT array need months to crunch numbers. Could something like this be used to speed up that process? Or is there some other reason that would prohibit that. P.S. I want pictures of black holes.
