Strategy for the interoperability of digital scientific infrastructures

The evolution of data volumes and computing capabilities is reshaping the scientific digital landscape. To fully leverage this potential, NumPEx and its partners are developing an open interoperability strategy connecting major instruments, data centers, and computing infrastructures.

Driven by data produced by large instruments (telescopes, satellites, etc.) and artificial intelligence, the digital scientific landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, fuelled by rapid advances in computing, storage and communication capabilities. The scientific potential of this inherently multidisciplinary revolution lies in the implementation of hybrid computing and processing chains, increasingly integrating HPC infrastructures, data centres and large instruments.

Anticipating the arrival of the Alice Recoque exascale machine, NumPEx’s partners and collaborators (SKA-France, MesoCloud, PEPR NumPEx, Data Terra, Climeri, TGCC, Idris, Genci) have decided to coordinate their efforts to propose interoperability solutions that will enable the deployment of processing chains that fully exploit all research infrastructures.

The aim of the work is to define an open strategy for implementing interoperability solutions, in conjunction with large scientific instruments, in order to facilitate data analysis and enhance the reproducibility of results.
