What is worse is that when the story about the Square Kilometre Array was being done on the North West news the other night I thought about SKA. I've obviously been on here far too much and for too long!!

Breaking SKA news - £11 million in UK funding
"UK science minister David Willetts has announced £11m of funding to help the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) process the expected deluge of data it will produce.
Handling the expected 915-petabyte daily data firehose from the entire SKA radio telescope will require advances in practically every computing discipline: the data will have to be considerably slimmed down before it can either be stored, sent over network links, or used for computation.
That 915PB that the SKA's expected to generate at launch in 2020 is close to a day's worth of traffic on the entire Internet today. By the time it's fully functional in 2025, that figure could be as much as ten times higher.
According to the SKA organisation, the “computing and software for the project … will have a data processing capacity 1,000 times greater than currently available.”"
