 Location: Ballroom B
Presentation: Astronomy, Petabytes, and MySQL Presentation 1 [PPT]

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will produce more than 100 petabytes of data when it goes on-line in 2014. All the non-pixel data will be managed by a database. This database is expected to contain some 50 billion astronomical objects, 3 trillion detections of those objects, and all the project’s metadata; a single copy will amount to tens of petabytes.

We explain the proposed LSST database architecture, which provides scalability by building on top of MySQL. The architecture is generic, and, once built, it could be used by others who need to manage extremely large databases.
