ANOMALIES@EXASCALE

• Title: Anomalies Detection and Handling towards Exascale Platforms

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • University of Chicago (United States) - Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) - Franck Cappello

• Start year: 2014

• See also: http://anomalies.imag.fr

• The Anomalies@exascale project intends to prospect new scheduling solutions for very large parallel computing platforms. In particular, we consider the new problems related to fault tolerance raising with the developments of exascale platforms. We expect to define new ways to detect both execution failures and more transient performance anomalies. Information gathered from the detectors will then be taken into account by schedulers to implement corrective measures.

• Title: Exascale Computing Scheduling and Energy

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • UFRGS, PUC Minas and UPS (Brazil)

• Duration: 2014 - 2016

• See also: https://team.inria.fr/exase/

• The main scientific context of this project is high performance computing on Exascale systems: large-scale machines with billions of processing cores and complex hierarchical structures. This project intends to explore the relationship between scheduling algorithms and techniques and the energy constraints present on such exascale systems.

• Title: International Laboratory in High Performance and Ubiquitous Computing

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • UFRGS (Brazil)

• Duration: 2011 - 2018

• See also: http://licia-lab.org/

• The LICIA is an Internacional Laboratory and High Performance and Ubiquitous Computing born in 2011 from the common desire of members of Informatics Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and of Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble to enhance and develop their scientific partnership that started by the end of the 1970. LICIA is an Internacional Associated Lab of the CNRS, a public french research institution. It has support from several brazilian and french research funding agencies, such as CNRS, Inria, ANR, European Union (from the french side) and CAPES, CNPq, FAPERGS (from the Brazilian side). Moais is deeply invovled in the creation and animation of LICIA. Bruno Raffin is LICIA associate director.

• Title: Scalable Tools and Algorithms para Resilient, Scalable, Hybrid Interactive Processing

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • UFRGS (Brazil)

• Duration: 2013 - 2016
