| Abstract: |
The coming generation of sky surveys are going to provide measurements for
properties of a number of objects like never have been reached
before. Astronomical databases will have to deal with requests on several
billions of entries at once, and therefore a new computational framework is
vital for the next generation of Data-Centers. As part of the efforts linked to
the setting up of the Taiwan Extragalactic Astronomical Data Center
(TWEA-DC), Billion Lines INdexing in a clicK (BLINK) is developed to
satisfy this role. BLINK is a framework that aims to ease access to large amount
of data and share analysis software amongst users. BLINK is also designed to be
parallelized and distributed on large amount of heterogeneous resources. BLINK
will propose at first a very fast indexing algorithm and cross-matching
capability, enabling to gather multiwavelength information of large chunk of the
sky in a very limited period of time. |
