The problem takes a volume of water that can be represented as a three-axis array. The X and Y directions have a modulus of 500, the Z 20. We then need to access this volume by specifying any two X,Y,Z points to extract data that represents acoustic transmission loss between the specified points. The data returned would be a vector of sound amplitudes and time delays. An array of frequency vs transmission loss might also be required for each point.
The number of elements for a fully populated array is huge (2.5e+13). There are ways to reduce the number of elements, maybe by the sources being in a smaller patch than the receivers. It might also be possible to use a polar grid about each source coordinate with perhaps 50 radials. It's thought that the total array size could be pared to 10-TB or less.
It feels like there's probably a better way to represent this problem that will reduce the storage. Perhaps by trading computation for storage. But on the little information presented, that's just a wild-a**ed guess.
