JENA Computing - WP4: AI

Oct 1, 2023, 12:00 AM → Dec 31, 2024, 11:59 PM Europe/Berlin

The Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Computing Initiative had a workshop on 12-14 June 2023 in Bologna: https://agenda.infn.it/event/34738/

At the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC (JENA) Seminar in May 2022 in Madrid (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1040535/), both the plenary presentations and the closed session of funding agency representatives revealed that there is an increased need for discussions on the strategy and implementation of European federated computing at future large-scale research facilities. In particular, synergies between the three fields should be identified, as well as computing requirements in the next decade, where all three communities (particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics) as well as neighbouring research fields such as astrophysics or cosmology can benefit.

Main conclusion at the Bologna-Workshop was the creation of five working groups in order to coordinate a white paper as input fo rthe next JENA Symposium: 

1. HTC, WLCG and HPC (HPC)

2. Software and Heterogeneous Architectures (Software)

3. Federate Data Management, Virtual Research Environments and FAIR/Open Data (Data)

4. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

5. Training, Dissemination, Education (TDE)

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI): These data analysis methodologies have seen a rapid expansion in the last years in most fields of science, including the ENA domains. A Working Group will be set up to follow the technologies in this fast evolving field, and analyse the potential impact on the ENA computing infrastructure needs. The focus will be to quantify the resource needs and to define the interfaces and services that are needed by physicists to run ML workloads (looking at both training and inference).
