DESCRIPTION:The high data rates from current and next generation radio inte
 rferometers (MeerKAT\, JVLA\; SKA\, ngVLA) necessarily require the data to
  be processed via a highly parallelized architecture in order to complete 
 processing at reasonable timescales. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss the
  Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) facility in Cape Town\, Sou
 th Africa - a pathfinder SKA science regional data centre\; the tools and 
 systems developed and adapted to perform processing at scale with the aim 
 of producing high-fidelity images from radio interferometers. I present th
 e IDIA MeerKAT pipeline - an automated\, parallel\, scaleable full Stokes 
 calibration and imaging pipeline for MeerKAT data designed to operate on t
 he ilifu cluster using off-the-shelf software.   Our setup uses the IDIA p
 latform running on hardware provided by the ilifu national facility\, taki
 ng advantage of cluster-level parallelism\, resource management and softwa
 re containers.\n\nI also discuss use of the CARTA software to efficiently 
 visualize terabyte scale image products remotely\, and briefly discuss som
 e of the algorithm developments in progress to produce high fidelity widef
 ield polarimetric maps with MeerKAT and other interferometers.
