Innovation for a sovereign Europe

ODISSEE Project

Using AI to cope with data deluge from SKAO and CERN HL-LHC

The challenge

Flagship future physical science research infrastructures, such as CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and the SKA Observatory (SKAO), will generate massive quantities of raw data, measured in Exabytes (1018 bytes) per year, far greater than all the data generated by a global service such as Facebook.

This flood of data paves the way for major scientific breakthroughs, but poses a crucial challenge: current digital technologies are no longer able to process these massive data streams, and major discoveries may go unnoticed.

Meet the needs of HL-LHC and SKAO scientific communities

Processing data on the fly using AI and frugal, flexible algorithms

On-the-fly data processing

Using eco-responsbible artificial intelligence for efficient selection of relevant data and trustworthy preservation of actionable data products

Dedicated hardware and software solutions

Development of dedicated hardware and open, non-proprietary software solutions that are both energy-efficient and flexible, to facilitate their adaptability to unknown situations

Enhance the HPC ecosystem

Exploit and enhance the European High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem, anticipating the needs of next-generation Exascale supercomputers

SLICES RI is designed to address innovative digital infrastructure experiments

SLICES offers a unique experimental platform for component configuration, test calculations and user training

A pilot program

The quest for dark matter

To demonstrate the effectiveness of these new technologies, ODISSEE will work on specifiying a pilot combining the use of both SKAO and HL-LHC: the search for the nature of dark matter.

Identifying the nature of this fundamental mystery of the universe, which accounts for a large proportion of its mass but remains invisible, requires to combine the capabilities of both infrastructures, setting new standards in terms of data handling and operational models.
