Discuss GroundSystem Base Design

[lbleier-GSFC]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current operational concept of GroundSystem is to use multiple processes and rely on interprocess communication (IPC) to move data between them. This is currently achieved using ZeroMQ and Python's built-in memory map (mmap). There should be a discussion on whether or not this operational concept is still viable as GroundSystem evolves with new features and functions

Describe the solution you'd like

• Discuss the need for multiple processes and IPC vs. a different operational concept
• If IPC is needed, discuss need for ZeroMQ (external library) vs. built-in Python IPC options vs. Qt-based IPC options
• Come to consensus on how to move forward and implement
