Abstract: The ESO Data Processing System (EDPS) is a new software infrastructure to run ESO science data processing modules (“pipeline recipes”), currently in an advanced state of development. These recipes are used for quality control purposes, unsupervised production of science and calibration products for the archive, and are embedded in an interactive data reduction system that is also offered to external science users. EDPS aims to unify these use cases and replace all dedicated systems currently used at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). EDPS is designed to handle all present and future instruments from ESO’s La Silla, Paranal, and, eventually, the Armazones (ELT) Observatory. These range from simple imagers to 1D and 3D spectrographs to optical interferometry (VLTI) across the entire optical and infrared wavelength range. Instrument-specific workflows can be configured in EDPS using a flexible Domain Specific Language (DSL) written in Python.
