Grid'5000 testbed

Participants : Luc Sarzyniec, Jérémie Gaidamour, Arthur Garnier, Clément Parisot, Emmanuel Jeanvoine, Émile Morel, Lucas Nussbaum [correspondant] .

Grid'5000 (http://www.grid5000.fr ) is a scientific instrument designed to support experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science related to parallel, large-scale or distributed computing and networking. It gathers 10 sites, 25 clusters, 1200 nodes, for a total of 8000 cores. It provides its users with a fully reconfigurable environment (bare metal OS deployment with Kadeploy, network isolation with KaVLAN) and a strong focus on enabling high-quality, reproducible experiments.

The AlGorille team contributes to the design of Grid'5000, to the administration of the local Grid'5000 site in Nancy, and to the design and development of Kadeploy (in close cooperation with the Grid'5000 technical team). The AlGorille engineers also administer Inria Nancy – Grand Est's local production cluster, named Talc, leveraging the experience and tools from Grid'5000.

Software classification: A-5, SO-4, SM-4, EM-4, SDL-N/A, DA-4, CD-4, MS-4, TPM-4.
