Multi-camera Platforms Grimage and Kinovis
MOAIS has managed with the LJK-Inria Morpheo team the Grimage platfrom (http://grimage.inrialpes.fr ) dedicated to off-line and on-line 3D modeling from multiple cameras and telepresence. In 2012, we received an Equipex funding, Kinovis (http://kinovis.inrialpes.fr ), to renew this platform with an installation which consists of a significantly larger acquisition space with 68 cameras connected to a new computation cluster. Moais participated to the installation and setup of the new platform (in charge of the network, compute and storage infrastructures) which is operational since summer 2015. FlowVR is the software backbone of both platforms for live processing. MOAIS is participating to the FP7 infrastructure project Visionair to enable European research teams to experiment on both platforms.
HPC experimentation platforms: Digitalis, Grid'5000 and Ciment
MOAIS (with MESCAL) develops and operates the Digitalis experimental platform (http://digitalis.inria.fr ) which hosts local experimental HPC machines as well as a site of the Grid'5000 national testbed and nodes of the CIMENT regional HPC center (mesocentre of the University of Grenoble). MOAIS with the Mescal and LIG-Erods team obtained in 2014 a grant (FAIRE from Grenoble-INP and LIG) to acquire new experimental machines. 2 ARM64 development boards and one last generation 4 CPU machine which can hosts up to 4 accelerators are now part of the platform.
