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.

ANR programme "défis": project IDEA (2009-2012)

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.

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 blanc" Displexity (2012-2015)

Participants : Cyril Gavoille, David Ilcinkas, Ralf Klasing, Adrian Kosowski.

The main goal of DISPLEXITY (for DIStributed computing: computability and ComPLEXITY) is to establish the scientific foundations for building up a consistent theory of computability and complexity for distributed computing. The other partners are from IRISA (Rennes) and LIAFA (Paris).

ANR “SONGS” (2012-2016)

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

SONGS (Simulation of Next Generation Systems) is a follow-up to the USS-SimGrid project. Its objective is to design a unified and open simulation framework for performance evaluation of next generation systems: Grids, Peer-to-Peer systems, Clouds and HPC systems. Cepage will be involved in the Peer-to-peer and Cloud use cases by designing and testing efficient allocation policies. Cepage will also take part in the design of efficient and realistic models and their validation.

The project involves the following INRIA and CNRS teams: AlGorille, ASCOLA, AVALON, CEPAGE, HiePACS, ICPS, MASCOTTE, MODALIS, MESCAL, RUNTIME, CC IN2P3.
