Latest newsGrid'5000 at SC'07Grid'5000 is be present at SuperComputing 2007, Reno, Nevada (USA).We will be pleased to welcome you at INRIA's booth #2433 and present the platform, its tools, and ALADDIN: INRIA initiative to foster the platform development and research on Grids.
Grid'5000 - Naregi interconnectionThe network interconnection between Naregi (Japan grid initiative) and Grid'5000 (Lyon site) is now operational and some preliminary tests began this summer. |
Grid'5000 at a glance
- Grid'5000 project aims at building a highly reconfigurable, controlable and monitorable experimental Grid platform gathering 9 sites geographically distributed in France featuring a total of 5000 CPUs:
Sites:
- The main purpose of this platform is to serve as an experimental testbed for research in Grid Computing.
- This project is one initiative of the French ACI Grid incentive (see below: Funding Institutions) which provides a large part of Grid'5000 funding on behalf of the French Ministry of Research & Education.
- Grid'5000 is a research effort developping a large scale nation wide infrastructure for Grid research.
- 17 laboratories are involved, nation wide, in the objective of providing the community of Grid researchers a testbed allowing experiments in all the software layers between the network protocols up to the applications.
The current plans are to assemble a physical platform featuring 9 local platform (at least one cluster per site), each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the RENATER Education and Research Network.
All clusters will be connected to Renater with a 10Gb/s link (or at least 1 Gb/s, when 10Gb/s is not available yet).
This high collaborative research effort is funded by the French ministry of Education and Research, INRIA, CNRS, the Universities of all sites and some regional councils.
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 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 CPUs per site, was established according to the scale of the experiments and the number of researchers involved in the project.
