ANR

ANR COOP

Multi-level Cooperative Resource Management (http://coop.gforge.inria.fr/ ).

• ANR COSINUS 2009 Program, 12/2009 - 06/2013 (42 months)

• Identification: ANR-09-COSI-001

• Coordinator: Christian Pérez (Inria Rhône-Alpes)

• Other partners: Inria Bordeaux, Inria Rennes, IRIT, EDF R&D.

• Abstract: COOP aims at establishing generic cooperation mechanisms between resource management, runtime systems, and application programming frameworks to simplify programming models, and improve performance through adaptation to the resources.

ANR ProHMPT

Programming Heterogeneous Multiprocessing Technologies (http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/prohmpt/ ).

• ANR COSINUS 2008 Program, 01/2009 - 06/2012 (42 months)

• Identification: ANR-08-COSI-013

• Coordinator: Olivier Aumage (Inria Bordeaux)

• Other partners: CEA INAC, CEA CESTA, CAPS entreprise, Bull, UVSQ PRiSM, Inria Grenoble.

• Abstract: ProHMPT aims at focusing the joint research work of several teams about compilers, runtimes and libraries as well as scientific application programmers on designing methods and tools for programming heterogeneous platforms such as GPU and accelerators.

• Nomination: The project ProHMPT has been nominated for the first round of selection for the best ANR projects recently completed.

ANR MediaGPU

Massive multimedia GPU-Based Processing (http://picoforge.int-evry.fr/projects/mediagpu/ ).

• ANR CORD 2009 Program, 01/2010 - 12/2012 (36 months)

• Identification: 2009-CORD-25-01

• Coordinator: Pierre Pleven (Institut TELECOM)

• Other partners: PLAY ALL, ATEME, HPC-Project, Inria Bordeaux

• Abstract: The MediaGPU project will develop a software architecture and will review and adapt a number of classical multimedia algorithms, considering the latest advances offered by the new hardware architectures, such as Hybrid CPU+GPU and GPGPU. Initial key target applications are very large still images processing, high definition video encoding, video post-production, real-time geometry 3D synthesis.

ANR Songs

Simulation of next generation systems (http://infra-songs.gforge.inria.fr/ ).

• ANR INFRA 2011, 01/2012 - 12/2015 (48 months)

• Identification: ANR-11INFR01306

• Coordinator: Martin Quinson (Inria Nancy)

• Other partners: Inria Nancy, Inria Rhône-Alpes, IN2P3, LSIIT, Inria Rennes, I3S.

• Abstract: The goal of the SONGS project is to extend the applicability of the SimGrid simulation framework from Grids and Peer-to-Peer systems to Clouds and High Performance Computation systems. Each type of large-scale computing system will be addressed through a set of use cases and lead by researchers recognized as experts in this area.
