Project Overview
HIPCAL studies a new paradigm (grid substrate) based on confined
virtual cluster concept for resource control in grids. In particular,
we propose to study and implement new approaches for bandwidth
sharing and end to end network quality of service guarantees. The
global infrastructure (computers, disks, networks) partitioned in
virtual infrastructures (aggregation of virtual machines coupled with
virtual channels) is dynamically composed. These virtual clusters are
multiplexed in time and space, isolated and protected. The goal of
this project is to explore an approach in a break with current
services-oriented principles developed in grids to jointly enhance
the application portability, the communications performance control
and their security. The project aims at providing a grid substrate
based on end to end bandwidth reservation, control overlay, network
and system virtualization, cryptographic identification
principles.
The project will be validated and evaluated at
different scales on the Grid5000 testbed with biomedical
applications, demanding in security , performance and reliability. 10
to 1000 processors, links with 100Mb/s to 10Gb/s, few microseconds to
100ms will be involved in these experimentations. Comparison with
Globus, Planetlab and Cluster on Demand approaches will be one of the
specific goals of the experiments. We aim at demonstrating the
functional transparency, enhanced predictability and efficiency for
applications offered by the HIPerCAL approach.
