Abstract :
Real-time near Earth objects (NEO) detection is a problem requiring large processing capabilities due to the large CCD arrays and computation intensive algorithms to ensure system efficiency. The paper summarises the results and recommendations from the study for the use of a modular-MPC (massively parallel computer) as a cost-effective solution for real-time NEO detection
