Improving the Energy Efficiency of Large Scale Distributed Systems

I am professor at IMT Atlantique (France) and member of the LS2N/Inria STACK team. My main interests are related to operating system and distributed systems. I serve on several PCs in the Cloud and Energy-aware computing area. From 2022, I am the deputy Director of the Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes (LS2N) UMR CNRS 6004.

My researches focus on energy aware distributed systems, in particular on workload placement, scheduling and renewable energies in datacenters. In this context, I proposed dynamic consolidation systems for virtualized environment using the constraint programming approach.

Around this topic, I am also involved in the security, scaling and validation of cloud IaaS management system (virtualization, container) and recently, IoT and Blockchain. I am the author or co-author of more than 80 international publications.

A technology transfer has enhanced his research, by the EasyVirt start'up creation in 2011, a young innovative enterprise specialized in the data center management and optimization. At the end of 2021, the company deployed its DCScope software in more than 300 companies.

Operating system courses teach students much more when they provide hands-on kernel-level project experience with a real operating system. To address this challenge, we created a complete kernel development environment in which operating systems can be developed, debugged, and rebooted in the eclipse framework in conjunction to qemu. The system to be developped is named sextant (sextant.menaud.fr)

The goal of this module is to provide a global view on techniques and practices of cloud computing with a focus on energy efficiency in large scale distributed systems. Topics include cloud computing principals, X as a service virtualization, and current issues of advanced research in energy efficiency. This course will be supplemented by practical work (VMWare ESXi) that will enable students to develop their own algorithm for power management.

The mains challenges addressed by the project are:

  1. How to propose an easy-to-use service to host (from deployment to supression) application components that are both typed Cloud and HPC?
  2. How propose a service that unifies the HPCaaS (HPC as a service) and the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in order to offer resources on demand and to take into account the specificities of scientific applications?
  3. How optimize resources usage of these platforms (CPU, RAM, Disk, Energy, etc.) in order to propose solutions at the least cost?
