Section: Contracts and Grants with Industry

4SH

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

We started an informal collaboration with Xavier Hanin (4SH) who has developed Xooctory and who has initiated the project Ivy which is now a project of the Apache Software Foundation. This collaboration is supported by INRIA who delegated Ludovic Courtès (INRIA SED Engineer) to work in Cepage for one year from July 2009 on a distributed version of Xooctory.

We have tested and implemented in Xooctory different scheduling algorithms that distribute the build process. This lead in particular to the conception of Hubble (see Section  5.1 ) software.
