    SKA news: big deal with IBM!

    Big Blue to handle SKA's Big Data about Big Bang

ASTRON and IBM will collaborate on a computer capable of ingesting the expected exabyte a day that will be generated by the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).

            Don't make assumptions. In this case you're assuming I actually bother to read threads beyond the title before posting.
