| Abstract: |
The data analysis system of the gamma-ray Compton Telescope (COMPTEL) onboard the Compton-GRO spacecraft is described. A continous stream of data of the order of 1 kbytes per second is generated by the instrument. The data processing and analysis software is build around a relational database managment system (RDBMS) in order to be able to trace heritage and processing status of all data in the processing pipeline. Four institutes cooperate in this effort requiring procedures to keep local RDBMS contents identical between the sites and swift exchange of data using network facilities. Lately, there has been a gradual move of the system from central processing facilities towards clusters of workstations. |
