EGI-ACE builds on the computing e-Infrastructure of the EGI Federation to deliver the EOSC Compute Platform: an open, data-centric, distributed, hybrid and secure infrastructure consisting of computing and storage providers and platform services to support research and open science via data spaces. The technical architecture of EGI-ACE provides a platform to build and deploy Thematic Services that can exploit baseline compute and storage resources from Cloud, HTC and HPC providers via a set of Federated Compute and Data services that facilitate running the workloads near the data to be analysed. Alongside user-oriented services, the Core EGI Services cover the operational aspects of the federation (authentication and authorization, accounting, monitoring, helpdesk) and bridge the EGI-ACE services with EOSC Core functionalities. This document presents the technical specifications of the EOSC Compute Platform services and components.
