Welcome to the Workspaces documentation!

Workspaces is the processing half of the archive (the other half being storage). Workspaces is used for various things:

  • Providing science-ready data products (SRDP)

  • Performing automatic calibration and imaging on new data

  • Quality assurance for results of automatic processing

What is needed to accomplish the above list of things? Several things:

  • A way to execute long-running jobs against various clusters and keep track of their state

  • A way to examine the results of these jobs, and possibly tweak and re-execute them

  • A way to approve of the results and keep track of quality assurance status

  • A way to react to new observations by scheduling jobs
