XtreemOS: a Linux-based operating system to support next-generation grids

 

January 2008

While grids allow organizations to significantly increase their computational power, they can also threaten to be a significant headache. That’s where it can help to have an operating system designed to keep things simple.
“Tools developed for grid use, like the Globus Toolkit, can be demanding and complex,” explains Christine Morin of INRIA Rennes Bretagne Atlantique in France, “especially because they are based on operating systems that are not designed to manage distributed and versatile resources.”
Morin is the scientific coordinator of XtreemOS, a four-year research project that aims to develop a grid operating system to simplify the usage, management and programming of grids...(more)

01Informatique - 78 millions d'euros pour l'informatique distribuée européenne

September 29, 2006 - French

Le grid reste une priorité de la recherche en Europe. Pour preuve, les 78 millions d'euros que la Commission européenne vient d'affecter à 23 nouveaux projets de recherche dans le cadre du sixième programme cadre pour la R&D (PCRD). La Commission soutient surtout trois initiatives, en leur allouant près de la moitié des fonds.(...)

Enfin, 14,2 millions sont affectés à un projet d'infrastructure supervisé par l'Inria : XtreemOS sera un véritable système d'exploitation de grid. Pour l'heure, en général, des middlewares - tel l'américain Globus - se chargent de la gestion de l'environnement distribué...(more)

EC press release - Commission grants €78 million to tailor grid technology and services to EU business needs

September 18, 2006

The European Commission will launch tomorrow in Brussels 23 new research projects on "Grid" technologies with a total EU funding of €78 million.
