A software infrastructure that enables efficient and robust pipeline processing of the vast amount of data in distributed processing sites.
Testimonial
Objective
Management and distribution of large volumes of space data across a global data network.
Background
Euclid is a space telescope designed to observe the expansion of the Universe. Its mission is to improve our understanding of dark energy and dark matter. The data are collected from the darkest regions of the sky, free from light contamination caused by our galaxy or our solar system.
Euclid will observe approximately ten billion sources of light. The entire survey will consist of hundreds of thousands of images and dozens of petabytes of data. The key challenge is to distribute these vast volumes of data efficiently across a network of ten data centres around the world.
