=== Grid'5000 under extension to Porto Alegre, Brazil ===
July 21st, 2009, INRIA and UFRGS signed a Memorandum of Understanding marking
the cooperation of the two institutes towards the extension of the
Grid'5000 platform to Brazil.


According to the terms of this memo, UFRGS will contribute to Grid'5000
by operating a local site in Porto Alegre and INRIA will fully
integrate this local site into Grid'5000 in order to gain an
international scale. Researchers from both partners will therefore gain
access to one of the major scientific instruments for the study of
large-scale parallel and distributed problems in computer science. With
this cooperation, Grid'5000 gives its users the possibility to study the
effects of inter-continental networks links on these problems.


For Grid'5000 users, access to the new site during the integration phase
is possible using portoalegre.grenoble as name of the new site

* '''Grid'5000''' is a scientific instrument for the study of large scale parallel and distributed systems. It aims at providing a '''highly reconfigurable, controlable and monitorable experimental platform''' to its users. The initial aim (circa 2003) was to reach 5000 processors in the platform. It has been reframed at 5000 cores, and was reached during winter 2008-2009.
* The infrastructure of Grid'5000 is geographically distributed on different sites hosting the instrument, initialy 9 in France. Porto Alegre, Brazil is now officially becoming the 10th site.

[[Image:Software layers.png|thumbnail|271px|left|Grid'5000 allows experiments in all these software layers]]
* '''Grid'5000''' is a research effort developping a '''large scale nation wide infrastructure for large scale parallel and distributed computing research'''.
* '''17 [[Grid5000:Laboratories|laboratories]]''' are involved in France with the objective of providing the community a testbed allowing experiments in all the software layers between the network protocols up to the applications.
The current plans are to extend from the 9 initial sites each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] Education and Research Network to a bigger platform including a few sites outside France not necessarily connected through a dedicated network connection. Sites in Brazil and Luxembourg should join shortly.
All sites in France are connected to [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] with a 10Gb/s link.
This high collaborative research effort is funded by INRIA, CNRS, the Universities of all sites and some regional councils.
== Initial Rationale==
'''The foundations of Grid'5000''' have emerged from a thorough analysis and numerous discussions about methodologies used for scientific research in the Grid domain. A report presents the [http://www-sop.inria.fr/aci/grid/public/Library/rapport-grid5000-V3.pdf rationale for Grid'5000].
In addition to theory, simulators and emulators, there is a strong need for '''large scale testbeds''' where real life experimental conditions hold. '''The size of Grid'5000''', in terms of number of sites and number of processors per site, was established according to the scale of the experiments and the number of researchers involved in the project.
