Cloud Computing and Desktop Grids


Current research projects:
Clouds@home: A project funded by the national French science foundation (called ANR) for running complex services and applications over unreliable (Internet) resources. I serve as the principle investigator of this project. This project is in collaboration with the INRIA MOAIS, GRAAL and Grand-Large teams, and also UC Berkeley.

Failure Trace Archive: The Failure Trace Archive (FTA) is centralized public repository of availability traces of parallel and distributed systems, and tools for their analysis. The purpose of this archive is to facilitate the design, validation, and comparison of fault-tolerant models and algorithms.

XtremLab : A BOINC-based project for characterizing resources in desktop grid and volunteer computing environments.
Desktop Grid Simulator called SimBOINC: A simulator for large-scale volatile desktop grid resources.


BTW, if you do research related to desktop grids, global computing, p2p computing, or volunteer computing, please consider submitting a paper to the Journal of Grid Computing's special issue on Volunteer Computing and Desktop Grids. Desktop grid journal
