The Cosmology Data Management system (CosmoDM) is an automated and flexible
data management system for the processing and calibration of data from optical
photometric surveys. It is designed to run on supercomputers and to minimize
disk I/O to enable scaling to very high throughput during periods of
reprocessing. It serves as an early prototype for one element of the
ground-based processing required by the Euclid mission and will also be
employed in the preparation of ground based data needed in the eROSITA X-ray
all sky survey mission. CosmoDM consists of two main pipelines. The first is
the single-epoch or detrending pipeline, which is used to carry out the
photometric and astrometric calibration of raw exposures. The second is the co-
addition pipeline, which combines the data from individual exposures into
deeper coadd images and science ready catalogs. A novel feature of CosmoDM is
that it uses a modified stack of As- tromatic software which can read and write
tile compressed images. Since 2011, CosmoDM has been used to process data from
the DECam, the CFHT MegaCam and the Pan-STARRS cameras. In this paper we shall
describe how processed Pan-STARRS data from CosmoDM has been used to optically
confirm and measure photometric redshifts of Planck-based Sunyaev-Zeldovich
effect selected cluster candidates.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures. Proceedings of Precision Astronomy with Fully
