Proof of concept: the potential of Use Case 3 within the AC3 Project to process astronomy data

Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: AC3 (Agile and Cognitive Cloud-edge Continuum management) focuses on creating an innovative architecture utilizing a federated Cloud Edge Continuum infrastructure. At the core of this initiative is the Cloud Edge Continuum Com- puting Management (CECCM), which oversees the Life Cycle Management of both resources and applications. Additionally, AC3 integrates Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to ensure energy-efficient operations. Use cases play a major role in the project as they will demonstrate its utility and potential applications. Among the three use cases included in the project, UCM leads Use Case 3, whose main objective is to work on the distributed processing of Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) astronomy data. In this use case, we will use the modular architecture of AC3 to address the challenges posed by the large volume of data and computational resources available in astronomical research. We will employ microservices-based astronomy software deployed in containers to simplify its use and the processing of data cubes for researchers. We are currently working on testing the scalability of existing astronomical software, in particular some spectral synthesis programmes that allow us to understand properties of the stellar populations that populate galaxies. In the future, AC3 will have the ability to distribute computing resources according to workload requirements, optimising the processing of large volumes of datacubes.
