Damien Gratadour – Bridging Astronomy, HPC and AI in giant telescopes from the optical to radio frequencies

Speaker : Damien Gratadour

Title: Bridging Astronomy, HPC and AI in giant telescopes from the optical to radio frequencies
Abstract:  Frontier computing has become a key enabler for scientific discovery,  at the core of the next generation of extremely large multi-science hubs, such as the SKA Observatory or the European Extremely Large Telescope. I will present current efforts and the future roadmap we are contemplating, bridging astronomy with HPC and AI technologies to contribute to these major scientific infrastructures, in particular through the soon to be established ECLAT joint lab, a collaborative effort between CNRS, Inria and Atos. Beyond technical aspects related to increasing the scientific return of these facilities, I will also cover transverse topics such as energy efficiency and operational cost containment.
