Discover SPECTRUM at IBERGRID 2024

On Wednesday October 29, SPECTRUM WP2 Lead Xavier Salazar will present SPECTRUM at the annual  IBERGRID conference in Porto. IBERGRID reinforces the collaboration between Spain and Portugal to support the joint participation in international initiatives and infrastructures of distributed computing and digital repositories. 

The amount of data gathered, shared, and processed in frontier research is set to increase steeply in the coming decade, leading to unprecedented data processing, simulation, and analysis needs. In particular, high-energy physics and radio astronomy are gearing up for groundbreaking instruments, necessitating infrastructures many times larger than current capabilities. In this context, the SPECTRUM project (https://spectrumproject.eu/) has brought together leading European science organisations and e-infrastructure providers to formulate a Strategic Research, Innovation, and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) along with a Technical Blueprint for a European computer and data continuum.

With a consortium composed of leading European science organisations in High Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy, and leading e-Infrastructure providers covering HTC, HPC, Cloud and Quantum technologies,the project has set up SPECTRUMCoP, the Community of Practice composed of external experts in several working groups. This collaborative effort will facilitate the creation of an exabyte-scale research data federation and compute continuum, fostering data-intensive scientific collaborations across Europe.
This presentation aims to introduce the SPECTRUM project to the IBERGRID community, including the early results already obtained including survey and scientific use cases, and encourage the IBERGRID community to engage in the effort that will define the roadmap at the end of the project.
