Science Data Processor

The Science Data Processor (SDP) is part of the evolutionary prototype of the SKA. The SDP is built from software modules which produce a number of different types of artefacts. The components of the system are built as Docker images which are deployed on a Kubernetes cluster using a Helm chart. The Docker images depend on libraries containing common code.

The components of the system are integrated in the SDP integration repository, which contains the Helm chart to deploy the SDP. More details on the design of the SDP and how to run it locally or in the integration environment can be found in the SDP Integration documentation.
