Projects

CoolEmAll FP7 European project
CoolEmAll will provide means for a deep insight into the total energy consumption of data centres. To this end, the project will provide advanced planning and optimisation tools for modular data centre environments. Once developed, these tools should help to minimise the energy consumption, and consequently the CO2 emissions of the IT infrastructure with related facilities.

PIREGRID: A Pyrenean Operational Grid (2009-2012)
PireGrid is an INTERREG IV A project which have two main objectives:
COST IC-0804: Energy efficiency in large scale distributed systems (2009-2013)
The main objective of the Action is to foster original research initiatives addressing energy awareness/saving and to increase the overall impact of European research in the field of energy efficiency in distributed systems.
The goal of the Action is to give coherence to the European research agenda in the field, by promoting coordination and encouraging discussions among the individual research groups, sharing of operational know-how (lessons-learned, problems found during practical energy measurements and estimates, ideas for real-world exploitation of energy aware techniques, etc.)

ANR-JST FP3C (Framework and Programming for Post Petascale Computing) : French-Japanese Project on Petaflop applications (2010-2013)
The goal of the project is to address the development of runtime systems for scientific applications running on petaflopic machines. Our contribution resides in the analysis of the energy consumption and leverages existing on such machines to handle their electricity ungryness.
