MapReduce (2010–2014).

An ANR project (ARPEGE 2010) with international partners on optimized Map-Reduce data processing on cloud platforms. This project started in October 2010 in collaboration with Argonne National Lab, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, the UIUC/INRIA Joint Lab on Petascale Computing, IBM, IBCP, MEDIT and the GRAAL INRIA Project-Team.

Grid'5000.

We are members of the Grid'5000 community: we make experiments on the Grid'5000 platform on an everyday basis.

HEMERA (2010–2014).

An INRIA Large Wingspan Project, started in 2010. Within Hemera, G. Antoniu (KerData INRIA Team) and Gilles Fedak (GRAAL INRIA Project-Team) co-lead the Map-Reduce scientific challenge. KerData also co-initiated a working group called “Efficient management of very large volumes of information for data-intensive applications”, co-led by G. Antoniu and Jean-Marc Pierson (IRIT, Toulouse).

EquipEx projects (submitted in 2011).

We participated to the submission of two EquipEx projects in 2011: DIP-HPC in the HPC area (leader: GENCI; KerData stands for the INRIA partner); and VIRTEXP in the cloud area (leader: Christian Pérez, INRIA-GRAAL).
