- 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
Introduction
- 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:

Grid'5000 will allow Grid experiments France wide in all these software layers |
The current plans are to assemble a physical platform featuring 9 clusters, each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the RENATER Education and Research Network. All clusters will be connected to Renater at 1 Gb/s (10 Gb/s is expected in near future).
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.
