Interface Data Processing Segment
• High performance computing hardware
– Each Central has a complete system (IDP) that will generate all products within required latencies
– Each IDPS or Central contains an Operations string, an Integration and Test (I&T) string, and shared disk arrays (RAID)
– Operations string carries 100% reserve capacity and additional availability processors– I&T string can be used for integration and test of new software, support for technology
insertion, parallel operations, failover, and algorithm development• Modular, workflow managed software
– Receives multiple data streams from C3S, processes data into RDRs, SDRs, TDRs, and EDRs, packages products into form useful for Centrals, and delivers requested products to end users
– Centrals have control over what products are created, which ancillary data sets are used, and how products are delivered
• Highly automated, fault-tolerant design requires minimal staff
– IDPS operator supported by System Administrator ensures proper operations– Cal/Val analyst monitors and validates IDPS products
• Same software is used in field terminals– Will be made available worldwide via download from the internet
May 19, 2003 16
IDPS Data Delivery
• Receives RDRs, TDRs, SDRs, and EDRs from Data Management subsystem
• Aggregates and reformats into HDF 5
– Small granules necessary for processing are not seen by external users
– Size and delivery frequency of products controlled by external users
• Provides products to the Centrals, Cal/Val, ADS/CLASS, and SDS via a file transfer or common disk services
May 19, 2003 17
Policy and Planning
• NPOESS will deliver data to users world-wide in accordance with US national data policy– Data will be broadcast openly around the world
at no cost to receivers– Capability for data encryption/data denial exists
for national defense needs• Denial can be done on a world-wide or geographic
basis
• NPOESS will provide certified data processing software via the Internet to anyone who wishes to use it
