Research

My research interests are focused on system architecure for high performance computing and large distributed system (Grid, Cloud, Cluster…), testbed dedicated to experimentation, tools to conduct proper and reproducible experinces.

Current Projets:

Below list of project (academic or software) where I'am participating at different levels. Scientific Projects:

  • National project PEPR Numpex - PC4 Exa-Atow Architectures and Tools for Large-Scale Workflows
  • Natioanl project PEPR Cloud - Taranis
  • European project Regale european project on Open Architecture for Exascale Supercomputers
  • Slices-FR: French part of Slices which is a flexible platform designed to support large-scale, experimental research
  • Grid5000: Platform for experimental computer science

Software Projects:

  • OAR: A resource ans job managment system for clusters and distributed infrastructures.
  • NixOS-Compose: reduce the burden of setting up ephemeral distributed systems thanks to Nix functional package manager and Nixos (Gitlab group).
  • Batsim: is an infrastructure simulator that enables the study of resource management policies.
  • CiGri: A ligthweight and simple grid solution for Bag of tasks.
  • Other software on Github
