Abstract

A novel approach for a high-volume radio telescope data processing pipeline is under development at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO). The pipeline is designed to temporarily store raw telescope data, filter and repackage the raw data packets into standard astronomical products and upload the generated results to the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre for archival storage and distribution, all at near real-time. The system is designed to support the processing tasks of a common DRAO spectrometer infrastructure currently being commissioned for both the John A. Galt 26m telescope and the Dish Verification Antenna 2 telescope at DRAO.
