absurd bandwidth? try this on for size: the square kilometer array does online (“realtime” loses its meaning when the data processing latency gets long enough)

absurd bandwidth? try this on for size: the square kilometer array does online (“realtime” loses its meaning when the data processing latency gets long enough) interferometry on millions of antenna achieving an OUTPUT data rate of a few TB/s, which is then filtered down to a paltry 1 TB/s by an exaflop computer. it’s a mind blowing instrument, and as a public science project there is lots of fun stuff to read about it :)
