Introduction to Grid5000 project
"5000 CPUs distributed in 9 sites for research in Grid Computing, eScience and Cyber-infrastructures."
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 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.

LSCAN project
Large Scale Programmable Networking : The Grid5000 platform will allow us to deploy a large reproductible environment for experimenting interactions between programmable network equipments and large number of clients. This large scale experiment permits to evaluate scalability of the overall approach in terms of number of streams, clients and equipments.
