The document discusses collaborations between EUDAT and PRACE to enable large scientific projects by coupling data and high performance computing (HPC) resources. It describes several joint projects that were awarded as part of PRACE calls that involved EUDAT providing data services and storage for projects in various fields like engineering, materials science, and astrophysics. The collaborations aim to make data and computing resources more interoperable and accessible in support of the Open Science vision. Specific activities discussed include joint calls for proposals, credential synchronization to allow seamless access to services, and training on data management best practices.

5. Background
• The amount of data produced exceed the ability to
manage them individually, leading to the development
of a new analytic field named High Performance Data
Analytics where data and computing services need to
interact closely with each other.
• A large variety of services already exists but e-
Infrastructures have evolved along different dimensions
creating separate offerings for computing and data.
• Scientific communities do not access low level
computing and data services directly, but rather work
with portals and workflows to perform complex tasks.

Need for interoperability
• Ensure the interoperability of EUDAT with other e-
Infrastructures, including PRACE, lowering technical and
policy barriers by piloting concrete use cases with user
communities
• Provide European researchers and industries with seamless
access to data and computing resources for cross-utilization
use cases
• Implement the Open Science vision where resources of any
kind and size are accessible without any technical barrier

7. PRACE is an international not-for-profit association
under Belgian law, with its seat in Brussels.
PRACE counts 25 members and 2 observers.
The PRACE Hosting Members are France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, and Switzerland.
PRACE is governed by the PRACE Council in which
each member has a seat. The daily management of
the association is delegated to the Board of Directors.
PRACE is funded by its members as well as through a
series of implementation projects supported by the
European Commission.

8. How to achieve interoperability?
• Joint Open Calls for proposals
• EUDAT offering data services and resources
through regular PRACE calls
• Review process is transparent to users
• Joint training activities
• PRACE project investigators involved into EUDAT
Data Management webinars and courses
• Continuous technical discussion and developments of
new components
• Definition of the EUDAT Workspace area
• Synchronization of authentication credentials for
single sign-on
• EUDAT clients as part of the PRACE Common
Production Environment

offering access to data resources
 DECI Call 13 - 5 pilots with ~350TB of storage space requested
 DECI Call 14 – 2 pilots with ~120TB of storage space requested
 Approximately 20% of all applicants request access to EUDAT
data services
• Federation of user credentials
 One of the use cases of the AARC project
• Training on Data Management Plan
 PRACE users invited to participate to regular EUDAT webinars
 PRACE Days 2017
• Use of B2SHARE to deposit PRACE documents and
make them publicly available
