  1. A Nation Wide Experimental Grid • The Grid’5000 project: architecture and objectives • Building a nation wide experimental platform for Grid researchers • 10/11geographically distributed sites • Every site hosts a cluster of PCs (from 256 CPUs to 1K CPUs) • All sites are connected by RENATER (French academic network) • RENATER hosts probes to trace network condition load • Design and develop a system/middleware environment for safely test and • repeat experiments • Use the platform for Grid experiments • Address critical issues of Grid system/middleware • Programming, scalability, fault tolerance, scheduling • Address critical issues of Grid networking • High performance transport protocols, QoS • Gridify and test real life applications • Investigate original mechanisms • P2P resources discovery, desktop Grids • The Grid’5000 Steering Committee • Organizer: Franck Cappello (LRI, CNRS-Universite Paris-Sud) • Director of the ACI GRID : Thierry Priol (IRISA, Rennes) • President of the ACI GRID SC : Brigitte Plateau (IMAG, Grenoble) • Director of RENATER : Dany Vandrome • Sites scientific coordinators • Frédéric Desprez (INRIA Rhône-Alpes) • Michel Daydé (ENSEEIHT-IRIT Toulouse) • Yvon Jégou (IRISA, Rennes) • Stéphane Lanteri (INRIA, Sophia Antipolis) • Raymond Namyst (LaBRI, CNRS-Université de Bordeaux 1) • Pascale Primet (INRIA Rhône-Alpes) • Olivier Richard (IMAG, Grenoble)

  2. Grid’5000 status • Total funding : 3 M€ • (as of September 2004) • Sponsors : • MRNT • ACI Grid’5000 • ACI MD projects • INRIA • Regional councils Grid’5000 nodes (September 2004) • Grid’5000 experimental activities: an overview • Networking • End host communication layer • High performance long distance protocols • High speed network emulation • Grid networking layer • Middleware/OS • Grid’5000 platform control, access and experiment automation • Grid scheduling and data distribution • Fault tolerance Grid issues • Resource management • Computational steering • Grid SSI OS and Grid I/O • Desktop Grid and P2P systems • Programming • Component models for the Grid (Java, Corba) • Grid-RPC and Grid-MPI • Code coupling (multi-physics, interactive scientific visualization) • Applications • Multi-parametric applications (climate modeling, functional genomic) • Distributed scientific computing applications • - Large-scale, parallel/distributed, numerical simulations • Computational steering and interactive scientific visualization • Medical imaging analysis Contact Franck.Cappello@lri.fr Web site www.grid5000.org
