Fermilab scientists
constructed the data acquisition system and the software and hardware
systems to process the 10 to 20 terabytes of data gathered during the
five-year span of the survey. Fermilab's contributions included creating
the monitor telescope pipeline, the pipeline for selection of candidates
for spectroscopy, data simulations for testing the pipelines, and the
database to be used for operations, as well as bringing the pipelines
together into a working system. A central archive database developed by
Johns Hopkins University is located at and supported by Fermilab. The
laboratory also designed and built the telescope motion controls,
interlocks and some of the spectroscopic hardware, plus provided
large-scale scientific project management. Fermilab (collaborators only)
is also involved with quasar target selection and the overall strategy for
running the survey.
