We need lots of processing power.  A central server with a
set of dumb dedicated PC processors may work.  The PC just
processes whatever data is dumped into its workspace and
leaves the answers behind.  The server handles the overall
flow.

An issue is the flow of data from Mees to Manoa.  If the
reductions are done in Manoa, then the limiting time is
shipping the raw tapes.  If the reductions are done on 
Maui, then the limiting time is shipping the reduced tapes.
In either case, we ought to step up the cadence of tape
shipments once we are happy with reduction process.
