BWFS will provide service for the Beijing-1, an earth-observation spacecraft specially designed for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
CAS researchers have developed an integrated data storage system for satellites with their own intellectual property right -- Blue Whale File System (BWFS) --for the Beijing Landview Mapping Information Technology Ltd (BLMIT). The system will be used for the data processing at the BLMIT Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station, a key application system for the Beijing-1, which is an earth-observation spacecraft specially designed the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Developed by the National Research Centers for High Performance Computers (NRCHPC) at the CAS Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), BWFS is a high-performance cluster system for data transmission and sharing in a system for massive data process in a cluster environment.
