GENERAL

  • EOSC Federation Handbook: The first edition of the EOSC Federation Handbook has been released on Zenodo. It provides an overview of the organisational and operational structure, and technical characteristics, of the EOSC Federation. It aims to serve as a practical guide for organisations that are interested in making their resources available within and across the EOSC Federation of nodes. 
  • Contacted by University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) central research office, expressed interest in joining the Science Clusters.

WEBSITE

SERVICES

  • Check which ESCAPE partners can be included to strengthen the OSCARS science clusters consolidation.

DATALAKE

The ESCAPE Data Lake is up and running.

  • Is it planned to have a more granular approach to give access to a file to only some selected users? ——> see OSCARS project “streamlining open data policies with RUCIO, presentation here: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1498384/

  • Issues reported (since last meeting): see 

  • Meeting DIOS + VRE : 24 april 2025 at 1600PM , https://indico.cern.ch/event/1528427/
  • Rucio in CTAO : 

    IKC : we officially participate in the management of metadata in Rucio, in the Datalake.
    → Matisse : intership for three months

VRE
  • FROM PREVIOUS MEETING: VRE: highly composible analysis platform linked to all services of ESCAPE, with the authentication at the top —> AAI currently service related, not at top.

  • Investigate the expectation of each ESCAPE partner of having its own VRE: good feedback from ET, close collaboration between VRE WG and ETAP, MADDEN (funded OSCARS project), good feedback at ET data analysis workshop in February, follow-up at ET Symposium in late May.

  • How to run a Pygwb pipeline on VRE-REANA cluster on ET mock data challenge.
  • Caterina Doglioni Dark Matter project, to be added to VRE landing page.
  • Contact with Federation of Solar Data OSCARS project, follow-up meeting with VRE team on April 23rd.
  • FROM PREVIOUS MEETING: Talk with Matthias and see if CTA would need its own VRE and how to deploy it. 

  • Status of LAPP VRE: 2 (MUST https://jupyter.must-dc.cloud/ and EOSC https://eosc-vre.must-dc.cloud/) , Possibility of putting own environment (done with WDF EOSC-VRE), but have to ask Leo for integration. Only CPUs, no GPUs.

  • Issues reported:
    • VRE instance at CERN has long container spawn times very long (5 mins), not happening with LAPP VRE instances.
    • Alberto: Couldn't make some ET_OSB_MDC1v2 files available through Rucio extension (put a patch).
Virtual Observatory
