ACI-Grid Jeune Equipe

Contributed by: Laurent Lefèvre, Cong-Duc Pham, Pascale Primet.

RESO is investigating advanced research on network services for grid computing within an ACI GRID "Young Team" project (2002-2003).

RNTL eToile

The eToile project [39] [23] is an experimental wide area grid testbed. The e-toile (e-toile is a RNTL project (réseau national de recherche en logiciel) funded by French Ministry of Research ) has three complementary objectives:

to build an experimental high performance grid platform that scales to France.
to develop original Grid services to fully exploit the services and capacities offered by a very high performance network. The e-toile middleware integrates the most recent and relevant works of the French computer science laboratories (INRIA, CNRS) focused on enhanced communication services.
to evaluate the deployment cost of chosen computing intensive and data-intensive applications and to estimate the performance gain they may obtain over the grid.

This national scale platform is the first initiative of this scale in France. RESO is coordinating the scientific efforts of this national project. In particular, we coordinated the project review, the project workshop and official demonstrations. RESO conducts also specific researches on Grid High performance networking and on active network services for middleware and Grid applications flows. RESO participated in the adaptation of the Madeleine software to the Globus and eToile Grid middleware. A strong collaboration within the VTHD++ project permits to test and tune the VTHD Network services like DiffServ.

RNRT VTHD++

Contributed by: Faycal Bouhafs, Fabien Chanussot, Saad El-Hadri, Benjamin Gaidioz, Jean-Patrick Gelas, Laurent Lefèvre, Congduc Pham, Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet.

(2002-2004) : RESO is responsible for Work Package 4 on "High performance active networks around VTHD backbone". Supported by RNRT, funding : 1 Engineer for 3 years.

ACI Grid GRIPPS

Contributed by: Pascale Vicat-Blanc.

(2003-2004) : RESO studies the problem of quality of service and end to end performance for genomic applications. A data intensive use case is developed and evaluated in the context of the eToile testbed [40] .

ACI Grandes Masses de Données GridExplorer

Contributed by: Olivier Gluck, Brice Goglin, Mathieu Goutelle, Marc Herbert, Julien Laganier, Laurent Lefèvre, Éric Lemoine, Congduc Pham, Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet.

(2003-2006) : The aim of this project is to create a large scale grid and network emulator. RESO is involved in the design of the platform and is interested in designing a high performance transport protocol test methodology in this environment.

GRID5000

Contributed by: Olivier Gluck, Brice Goglin, Mathieu Goutelle, Marc Herbert, Julien Laganier, Laurent Lefèvre, Éric Lemoine, Congduc Pham, Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet.

(2003-2005) : RESO is participating in the design of the Ecole Normale Supérieure site belonging to the experimental Grid platform GRID5000. We are particularly interested in building and collaborating in this national initiative for research and development of our innovative communication, transport and network services. We are also focusing on long distance networking issues of this national project within the CNRS AS enabling Grid5000.
