The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the largest radio interferometer in the world when it is built. The project has already passed all its Critical Design Reviews (CDRs), including System CDR, and is in the bridging phase between the design and the construction phase. In this talk, we will present the current status of the project, and in particular how we are dealing with software...

We as S2Innovation would like to summerize and present our work done for ICFO Laboratory. The presentation will deliver information about a distributed tango controls system designed, based on 6 raspberry pi'es. We would like to discuss the system itself, as long as problems we encountered during implementation. We had lots of preformance issues regarding Webjive.
