Key Exploitable Result

Compendium of Use Cases

Compendium of use cases, related challenges, gaps and requirements covering technical and policy aspects

Components

A comprehensive compendium of specific use cases from the HEP and RA communities, an analysis of their current requirements and future evolution in terms of code characteristics, features, and computational demands. A comparison of their current and future technical and non-technical (policy) requirements with the existing RI landscape will result in a gap analysis. Taking into account the evolution of scientific requirements and new opportunities related to new hardware and software technologies, solutions will be suggested to close the gaps and to address remaining challenges. The relevance of the use cases will also be confirmed with other data-intensive science disciplines for wider impact.

The following use cases are included:

HEP Use Cases: The CMS LHC experiment, ATLAS, LHCb, ALICE, AI-based particle flow reconstruction (MLPF), LLMs for CERN accelerator complex, Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics,
RA Use Cases: The Power Spectrum of 21 cm HI Fluctuations (SKAO), The Star Formation History of the Universe (SKAO), Extragalactic Surveys (LOFAR), Fast Radio Bursts and Transients,
Other Use Cases: MISTRAL (Meteo Italian Supercomputing Portal), LIGATE Molecular Dynamics, eBRAINS

Exploitation Path

Who will access this result and how?

Target groups:

Scientific Communities within RIs with data-intensive computing needs, with a focus on RA and HEP
Computing & Data Service Providers & e-Infrastructures.

Exploitation path: While these results are functional to develop both the Technical Blueprint and the SRIDA , they will be of great interest for other research communities and computing providers; they increase the level of understanding of data-intensive science and can be reused, and therefore, the use of existing solutions and services will be increased.

Ownership and access rights: Collective work of the contributing experts, jointly owned by consortium partners; and shared under a permissive licence following open science principles.

Related Activities

How will SPECTRUM increase uptake, adoption and reuse?

Main exploitation of WP5-related KERs are linked to the use, adoption and uptake within the project:

Contribution to KER1: All generated use cases become part of the Knowledge Hub to be shared with SPECTRUM CoP ready to be used and re-used by their members.
Contribution to Blueprint Architecture and SRIDA : Digested analysis, recommendations and gaps will become part of the key documents of SPECTRUM

KER2 is also contributing to the knowledge transfer to JENA initiative, to The European Strategy for Particle Physics (CERN) and to any equivalent initiatives happening within Radio Astronomy, such as PUNCH4NFDI, RadioNet, etc.
