I was then recruited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inria.fr\/fr\">Inria <\/a>almost six years ago. Today, I work within the <a href=\"https:\/\/team.inria.fr\/kerdata\/\">KerData <\/a>team, which focuses on data management in distributed systems and high-performance computing.  <\/p>\n<p>Historically, the team was strongly oriented towards input\/output, or I\/O, large-scale storage, and parallel file systems. These topics remain at the core of my work, even though the team has expanded into other areas such as workflows, federated learning, and certain aspects of quantum computing. The common thread across all these topics is data: how it moves, how it is stored, and how it can be used efficiently.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>What does ECLAT concretely bring to your research?<\/h4>\n<p>For us, ECLAT is a particularly valuable use case.

An intern funded by ECLAT, Pietro Mani, is currently working with me on monitoring the I\/O of the complete pipeline. He is now able to produce graphs showing the evolution of resource usage and data access during execution.

In practice, when we talk about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skao.int\/en\">SKA <\/a>within NumPEx, we are also, and above all, talking about the work carried out in ECLAT around radio astronomy processing pipelines.
