Talk Python to Me: #257 Exploring the galaxy with the fastest supercomputer, Python, and radio astronomy

With radio astronomy, we can look across many light-years of distance and see incredible details such as the chemical makeup of a given region. Kevin Vinsen and Rodrigo Tobar from ICRAR are using the world's fastest supercomputer along with some sweet Python to process the equivalent of 1,600 hours of standard-definition YouTube video per second.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Kevin on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/KevinVinsen_" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@KevinVinsen_</a><br/> <b>ICRAR on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/ICRAR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ICRAR</a><br/> <br/> <b>SKA Telscope</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/1gqFMYb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skatelescope.org</a><br/> <b>ICRAR ORG</b>: <a href="https://www.icrar.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">icrar.org</a><br/> <b>Video showing data flow and scale</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2yfkaku" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vimeo.com</a><br/> <b>Summit supercomputer</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2t5NeW8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wikipedia.org</a><br/> <b>SKA Amazing facts</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2vY0twM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skatelescope.org</a><br/> <b>DALiuGE execution framework</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2vUFs69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>ijson</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2QdarjM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>ZeroMQ</b>: <a href="https://zeromq.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zeromq.org</a><br/> <b>ZeroRPC</b>: <a href="https://www.zerorpc.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ift.tt/3dAh9LF> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://ift.tt/3aBjB2k> <a href='https://ift.tt/39SwnJH> <a href='https://ift.tt/2PVc9qH Python Training</a>
