Square Kilometre Array project awarded more than $2 million
The Grid Research Centre (GRC) will be a participant in the Cyber-SKA Canada project, recently awarded over $2 million dollars as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP2) program. The project, led by Dr. Russ Taylor, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary, will involve development of cyberinfrastructure to process and analyze data that will be gathered by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be the world's largest radio telescope when completed around 2020. For more details on this project see the following media release by the University of Calgary: http://people.ucalgary.ca/~ria/2009/December2009/ska.html
