Overview

The SDP is part of the evolutionary prototype of the SKA software. This documentation gives an overview of the current design of the SDP system, which is a partial implementation of the SDP software architecture.

The SDP software architecture, and that of the rest of the system, is described in the Solution Intent in the SKA Community Confluence (wiki). The Solution Intent contains other information about the intended behaviour of the system, such as the high-level requirements. It also captures the behaviour of the system as currently implemented, including the outcome of tests against the requirements.

The components of the SDP system and the relationships between them are described in the Components section. The software modules used to build the components and deploy the SDP are described in the Modules section.
