Pôle Scientifique de Modélisation Numérique (PSMN)

This federation of laboratories aims at sharing the parallel machines from ENS Lyon/PSMN and experiences of parallelization of applications.

J.-Y. L'Excellent participates to this project.

MUSINE: Franche-Comté: conception, validation et pilotage de la micro-usine multi-cellulaire (2007-2009)

The aim of this project is to design the information model and management (scheduling) part of a micro-factory composed of cells. Each cell contains a set of micro-robots which manipulate micro-products (about 10^-5 meters). The project is in collaboration with the LAB (Laboratoire d'Automatique de Besançon).

L. Philippe leads the MUSINE project and J.-M. Nicod participates to it.

Projet “Calcul Hautes Performances et Informatique Distribuée”

E. Caron leads (with C.. Prudhomme from LJK, Grenoble) the “Calcul Hautes Performances et Informatique Distribuée” project of the cluster “Informatique, Signal, Logiciels Embarqués”. Together with several research laboratories from the Rhône-Alpes region, we initiate collaborations between application researchers and distributed computing experts. A Ph.D. thesis (J.-S. Gay) focuses on the scheduling problems for physics and bioinformatic applications.

Y. Caniou, E. Caron, F. Desprez, J.-Y. L'Excellent, J.-S. Gay, and F. Vivien participate to this project.
