Note

This is a work in progress. More details coming soon.

This page is for a high-level overview of the SKA Science Data Processor (SDP). It should provide context relevant to how the pipelines fit into the SDP as a whole with links to more detailed explanations, tutorials, and reference materials found elsewhere.
