Summary

In order to understand TAU, and to know where it is damaged and how to fix it, we must first know how it works. This is a very large project, of which this particular project is only the first step. There are several electronic systems thoughout the cluster, particularly in Labspace. We know where they are (considering we're constantly repairing them), but we do not know what they are. What, exactly, is their purpose?

In order to answer that grand question, we must learn two things: What each substation actually does, and how are they connected to each other. It is possible to determine the answers to both questions by careful analysis of EM emissions and communications along the fiber interconnects. Further information can be gained by through examination of the components themselves, including penetrating scans (XRay, Gamma, Tera, or similar).

Status

We are currently in the planning stage, where we design the tools required to observe, record, and document the various emissions of the electronic systems.

Tool Designs Needed:

  • EM scanner, to detect and record EM emissions.
  • Signal Analyzer, to intercept and record fiber optic communications.
  • Penetrating Scanner, to scan the inner structure of electronic nodes.

Future Steps:

  • Production Stage - Production of the tools. Several will be needed.
  • Data Collection - Using the tools to collect data on each of the electronic systems in Labspace.
  • Analysis - Analysis of the collected data.
