   Presentation.Abstract:
   	The satellite Gaia is to be launched in September 2012, and
   	will after a few months take up its observing position at
   	the Lagrange point L2, 1.5 million km away from the Earth.
   	During five or six years it will continuously scan the whole
   	sky, registering the exact positions and motions of a billion
   	stars, and dispatch an enormous quantity of data back to
   	the Earth. The processing of this data, converting it to a
   	star catalogue eagerly awaited by astronomers around the
   	world, is by itself a great challenge, perhaps as large and
   	difficult as the making of the satellite. It is estimated
   	that the data analysis effort to produce the Gaia catalogue
   	is about one sextillion (10^21) floating point operations.
