How Will Astronomy Archives Survive the Data Tsunami?
This article by Steve Groom and myself was just published on-line in the Association for Computing Machinery Queue:
How Will Astronomy Archives Survive the Data Tsunami? – ACM Queue
In it, we describe the practices that can keep astronomy archives ahead of the tsunami, which will deposit an estimated 60-100 PB of data on-line by 2020. We describe how archive performance is already being degraded by the rapid growth and data volume and growing use of sophisticated queries – see the figure below. We describe how practices such as rigorous evaluation of new technologies, partnerships between astronomers and computer scientists, and training of scientists in high-end software engineering engineering skills will all be necessary.
