Description
Planck is an ESA mission, launched on 14 May 2009 with a payload of two instruments, and is dedicated to the mapping of the microwave sky in 9 frequency bands in the 30-850 GHz range. After an introduction describing the basics of the Planck mission and the technical characteristics of the instruments, the continuing activities needed to perform end-to-end simulations of the full mission are discussed, with special emphasis on the computational challenges and on the porting of the simulation code to the Grid and HPC systems, together with a discussion of the solutions found.
