Abstract
The high data rates achieved on SuperCOSMOS and the large data volume on a Schmidt plate place significant demands on traditional computer systems. A multi-domain Transputer system which can process large volumes of data at the required rate has been designed for SuperCOSMOS and is currently under development. The processes which must be implemented on such a system are discussed, and the methodology which supports the design is outlined.
