ODISSEE: Online Data Intensive Solutions for Science in the Exabytes Era
By Damien Gratadour, Director of Research, Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux (LAB), CNRS & Université de Bordeaux

The next generation of giant scientific infrastructures, such as the High Luminosity LHC and SKA, will produce exabytes of raw data each year. The optimal exploitation of their potential is hampered by the traditional paradigm that separates calibration, reduction, and scientific analysis of data into slow, offline processes.

Furthermore, the separation between computing and storage makes the application of deep learning techniques to the data stream difficult and inefficient, relegating them to post-hoc analysis. This gap between observation and discovery significantly limits the scientific yield of instruments designed as unique infrastructures shared by an international community.

In this presentation, I will introduce ODISSEE, a project uniting the efforts of three pan-European ESFRI infrastructures (the HL-LHC, SKAO, and SLICES-RI) with the aim of providing scalable and efficient hardware and software platforms to tackle the corresponding digital challenges in a highly competitive international environment. Developed as a joint R&D program with industrial partners, and thanks to access to SLICES-RI's experimental infrastructure, ODISSEE is designed to provide unique solutions along the digital continuum taking into account the 3 dimensions of sustainability.

Biography: Damien holds a PhD in Observational Astronomy from Université Paris-Diderot (2005). As a technology enthusiast with extensive international experience, Damien has successfully spearheaded numerous disruptive R&D projects in astronomical instrumentation for two decades. His expertise lies in observational astronomy, high performance real-time cyber-physical systems, and artificial intelligence. He has acquired considerable experience in managing engineering teams at both micro and macro levels, coupled with a proven track record of training through research with more than a dozen successful PhD supervisions. Additionally, he has consistently secured multiple tenders from diverse funding sources at national and European levels, including multimillion-euro programs, public-private partnerships, and interdisciplinary R&D initiatives. Since 2021, with France officially joining SKAO, he has been strongly involved in the French effort dedicated to the construction of this giant radio-telescope. In particular, he is currently the director of ECLAT, a joint laboratory between CNRS, Inria, Observatoire de Paris, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur and BULL, as a long-term support structure federating resources from academic and industrial teams engaged in the R&D work for the French contribution to the SKA.
