National Actions

ANR ARA "Masse de données" Alpage (2006–2009)

Participants : Olivier Beaumont, Nicolas Bonichon, Philippe Duchon, Lionel Eyraud-Dubois, Cyril Gavoille, Nicolas Hanusse, David Ilcinkas, Ralf Klasing.

Alpage, lead by Olivier Beaumont, focuses on the design of algorithms on large scale platforms. In particular, we will tackle the following problems

• Large scale distributed platforms modeling

• Overlay network design

• Scheduling for regular parallel applications

• Scheduling for applications sharing large files.

The project involves the following INRIA and CNRS teams : Cepage, Graal, Mescal, Algorille, ASAP, LRI and LIX

ANR "programme blanc" Aladdin (2007-2011)

Participants : Olivier Beaumont, Nicolas Bonichon, Philippe Duchon, Cyril Gavoille, Nicolas Hanusse, David Ilcinkas, Ralf Klasing.

The scientific objectives of ALADDIN are to solve what are identified as the most challenging problems in the theory of interaction networks. The ALADDIN project is thus an opportunity to create a full continuum from fundamental research to applications in coordination with both INRIA projects CEPAGE and GANG.

ADT "Aladdin" (2008-2011)

Participants : Olivier Beaumont, Nicolas Bonichon, Philippe Duchon, Lionel Eyraud-Dubois, Cyril Gavoille, Nicolas Hanusse, David Ilcinkas, Ralf Klasing.

The objective of the ADT INRIA Aladdin (Note that this project is absolutely not related to the previous one, even if both projects have the same name!) project is to continue and strengthen the efforts to develop the GRID'5000 platform. Olivier Beaumont is the local coordinator of Grid'5000.

ANR “USS SimGrid” (2008-2011)

Participants : Olivier Beaumont, Nicolas Bonichon, Lionel Eyraud-Dubois.

The objectives of USS SimGrid is to create a simulation framework that will answer (i) the need for simulation scalability arising in the HPC community; (ii) the need for simulation accuracy arising in distributed computing. The Cepage team will be involved in the development of tools to provide realistic model instantiations.

The project involves the following INRIA and CNRS teams: AlGorille, ASAP, Cepage, Graal, MESCAL, SysCom, CC IN2P3.

ANR programme "defis": project IDEA (2009-2011)

Participant : Ralf Klasing.

.

The goal of this ANR is the study of identifying codes in evolving graphs. Ralf Klasing is the overall leader of the project.
