High in the mountains of Chile, construction has begun on a telescope that can map the entire visible sky in just a few nights. Each panoramic snapshot of the The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope’s (LSST) 3200-megapixel camera will cover an area 40 times the size of the full moon. All of that power comes with a lot of data to be transferred to scientists in the United States at a mind-boggling rate of 100 gigabits per second. That’s where Georgia Tech comes in.
Researchers at Georgia Tech and Florida International University (FIU) have launched the AtlanticWave SDX project to develop a network controller that will prioritize and route large amounts of data on research and education networks without slowing down the internet for everyone else.
