Astronomical Data Reduction at the Universidad Catolica de Chile. (1989). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 19(1), 67. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1989rmxaa..19...67q

Abstract

The computational system presently being installed at U. Catolica is briefly described. Needs for data reduction are typical to those for a small astrophysics research group and will be satisfied by a network of workstations, allowing reductions and numerically intensive theoretical calculations. The availability of the latest workstation technology, represented by machines with speeds of 100 Mips and numerical performances around 15-20 Mflops, makes fractions of supercomputer power accesible at very small costs. The efforts made and results obtained in establishing a reduction and computational system can be useful for other small groups in the region with very small budgets.
