MeerKAT Science Data Processing Operational Workflow
MeerKAT, a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope and will be integrated into the mid-frequency component of SKA. The MeerKAT telescope, is already operational, as part of science commissioning & operational activities; large datasets are being analysed contributing more to storage and compute processing capacity . This poster explains the science data processing teams operational workflow processes currently in place. Deployed infrastructure of real-time Mesos cluster, batch-cluster and object storage is one of the areas where it is expanding. The production software is deployed via Jenkins build system, with various live monitoring systems in place. It is also worth to note various user monitoring tools in place, archive interface and post-processing of large-datasets used by engineers and astronomers for continuous feedback.
