Post-Doctoral Position : GRID simulation campaigns management et supervisions over a GRID middleware and architecture.

Work description

The USS SIMGRID project plans to manage large GRID simulations, as well of execution time, size of the system, and parameter sweep. In this work, we manage more specially simulations execution over GRID, and aims to run GRID simulations over a GRID.

In order to execute and manage such simulations, we need to design a specific solution, able to cope with the different components of the simulation : the GRID environment (i.e.Grid 5000, local network), the grid middleware (i.e. DIET, Confiit, APST …), the simulator (i.e. SimGRID, DASOR …). The first part of the conception of the campaign manager solution is now complete : we studied the available grid solutions and collected some user experiments feedback. According to those information, we now design the campaign manager. This campaign manager will be the glue between the different part mentions above. It aims to manage the different phases of the simulation : the middleware deployment, the simulator execution management, results collection, and the inter-active simulation driving.

The main task of this postdoc is to design the general campaign manager architecture, in order to obtain a generic solution, able to drive simulations over different platforms, with different middlewares and different simulators. This includes theoretical approach, software design and experiments.

The candidate will have a strong background in software engineering, specially in java applications design, and applications development over GRID platforms. The work will be located at CreSTIC laboratory, University Of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, will be part of the ANR-funded project "USS-SimGrid".

This position is scheduled to start as soon as possible.
