Remote Data Exploration with the Interactive Data Language, Phase II

We propose to enable user-friendly interaction with multi-processor and multi-core resources,allowing users to seamlessly retrieve remote data with DAP and take advantage of parallelcomputing resources for analyzing that data. Where possible, we plan to make these featuresavailable in the open-source GDL (Gnu Data Language) version of IDL.

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
