Inria-UIUC-NCSA Joint Laboratory for Petascale Computing

Participants : Eddy Caron, Frédéric Desprez, Mohammed El Mehdi Diouri, Olivier Glück, Cristian Klein, Vincent Lanore, Laurent Lefevre, Christian Pérez, Jonathan Rouzaud-Cornabas.

The Joint Laboratory for Petascale Computing focuses on software challenges found in complex high-performance computers. The Joint Laboratory is based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and includes researchers from the French national computer science institute called Inria, Illinois' Center for Extreme-Scale Computation, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. Much of the Joint Laboratory's work will focus on algorithms and software that will run on Blue Waters and other petascale computers.

PICS CNRS 5473: Dimensioning through Simulation

Participants : Frédéric Desprez, Georges Markomanolis, Frédéric Suter.

This International Scientific Collaboration Project with the University of Hawai`i at Manoa (2009-2012) aims at comparing, solidifying and integrating within a single framework, namely SimGrid, several approaches to dimension infrastructures thanks to simulation.

GreenTouch

Participants : Laurent Lefevre, Jean-Patrick Gelas.

GreenTouch is a consortium of leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, academic and non-governmental research experts dedicated to fundamentally transforming communications and data networks, including the Internet, and significantly reducing the carbon footprint of ICT devices, platforms and networks.

In this project, we explore the design of virtual home gateway at large scale [18] , [29] and participate in the SEASON project.
