Leadership within the Scientific Community

• Emmanuel Jeannot , Brice Goglin and Pete Beckman organized a Birds-of-a-Feather session about Cross-Layer Allocation and Management of Hardware Resources in Shared Memory Node. It gathered about 30 people working on various runtime systems, operating systems and applications in the HPC to discuss how to have all these software components collaborate when spawning jobs on hardware resources.

• Guillaume Mercier is the chairman of the Hardware Topologies Management Working Group of the MPI Forum. This working group was created officially in December by Inria’s impulse and has been rallied since by many institutions taking part in the MPI Forum. The goal of this working group is to standardize hardware topologies management mechanisms and abstractions in the MPI standard.

• François Pellegrini was invited by Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, as an international expert on software law and economics, to participate in training sessions for the members of the parliaments of Bénin and Cameroon, regarding the impact of digital technologies on digital sovereignty and national legal systems.

• François Pellegrini was heard by the Conseil national du numérique (CNNum), on the European directive on free flow of data.

• François Pellegrini was heard by the Conseil régional de Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in the context of the definition of their digital roadmap.

• François Pellegrini was invited to the thematic seminar on the social responsibility of algorithms, organized by the scientific council of Institut des sciences de l’information et de leurs interactions (INS2I) of CNRS.

Standardization Activities

TADaaM attended the MPI Forum meetings on behalf of Inria (where the MPI standard for communication in parallel applications is developed and maintained). TADaaM also proposed the creation of a new working group in the MPI Forum, dedicatd to hardware topologies management and currently leads this working group. The Hsplit proposal in currently under early discussions for submission to the forum and eventual inclusion in the MPI standard.

Research Administration

Emmanuel Jeannot is member of the scientific committee of the Labex IRMIA (Université de Strasbourg).

Emmanuel Jeannot is the head of the young researcher commission of Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest in charge of supervising the hiring of the PhDs and post-doc of the center.
