Efficient customizable tools for big data processing. Incoherent scatter radar big data as a case study

Abstract

This project is my master diploma project of the department of Computer Science at Norks Arktisk Universitet (UiT) in 2016. Every day, the satellites send to the ground stations huge amount of data for processing. Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) is a very interesting technology in the space science and it also sends a large amount of data in plasma line data back to the earth. Currently, the space scientists are using MATLAB and Python to process plasma line data which use the CPU to process and consume a large amount of power and time to process this data. In this master thesis, it will focus on the processing data to reduce the time and power consumption.
