  1. ITU Workshop on “Cloud Computing”(Tunis, Tunisia, 18-19 June 2012) Cloud Research Activities Pr. Mohamed JEMNI Computing Center Al Khawarizmi (CCK) Research Laboratory LaTICE mohamed.jemni@fst.rnu.tn

  2. Outline • CCK : Toward service virtualization • LaTICE: Cloud research areas : from Grid to the Cloud • TNGrid • BonjourGrid • Resource management • Supply of services • Interoperability of cloud • SLA Management

  3. Computing Center el Khawarizmi (CCK) • The CCK was established in 1976 . • As an Internet Service Provider, since1997. • The CCK has about 60employees; 30 technical employees and 30 administrative employees. • The CCK took care of the implementation and The development of theUniversity National Network and of Research for the sector of higher Education and scientific research.

  4. Computing Center el KhawarizmiTarget population The number of students in public higher education institutions is more than 360 000 students. 200institutions of higher education and research, among them 24Higher Institutes of Technological Studies (ISET). 25 Research centers, 30 administrations and 150 university cities. 147 laboratories and 650 Research Units

  5. Computing Center el KhawarizmiPowerful platforms The CCK offers various platforms coupled with a protected infrastructure and compatible with the main technologies used for the web and a multitude of web services. • Management of national applications • Management of specific applications

  6. Computing Center el Khawarizmi Powerful platforms

  7. Computing Center el Khawarizmi Gate for e-government

  8. Computing Center el Khawarizmi Gate for e-government

  9. Computing Center el Khawarizmi Online collaboration

  10. RNU2 : Toward the virtualisation and the private Cloud

  11. TNGrid : Tunisian National Grid The TNGrid project is an initiative of the research lab. of Technologies of Information and Communication (LaTICE) at the Higher School of Sciences and Technology of Tunis(ESSTT) of the University of Tunis TNGrid offers an open and free Tunisian National Grid for researchers The grid computing platform is based on institutional resources and volunteer participations.

  12. TNGrid : Tunisian National Grid http://www.tngrid.tn/

  13. International projects LaTICE research lab. is involved in grid computing research axis since 2004. LaTICE research lab. is working and is participating in EUMEDGRID projects coordinated by INFN (Italy) since 2006 . We have a Registration Authority, managed by Mohamed Jemni, with INFN CA We are setting up the TNGrid CA (Certification Authority) and to be fully operational just after our accreditation process with EuGridPMA.

  14. Tunisian Node on EumeGrid • A grid site connected to EumedGrid-Support • 3 operational services : CE, SE, WN • Visible on Gstat and RTM tool

  15. Applications on Grid • Porting 3 applications to the grid • AFP3DFace : Automatic extraction of Feature Points from a 3D face • Parallel Flow Shop Parallel : Distributed Algorithm for the Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem • Grid FFT : Grid Application for Computing Multidimensional Fast Fourier Transform

  16. Cloud research areas • Resource management • Supply of services • Interoperability of cloud • SLA management

  17. Resource Management • BonjourGrid • A decentralized middleware to manage desktop grid resources • Developed by LaTICE in collaboration with LIPN (Paris13) • A user can construct his own computing element • Boinc, Condor, XtremWeb • Number of workers

  18. Resource Management • BonjourGrid as a cloud system (PaaS) • SlapOS system to deploy BonjourGrid instances

  19. Resource Management SlapOS Master Installation of required platforms SlapOS Client 1 Boinc/Condor/XtremWeb Master … SlapOS Client n SlapOS Client 3 SlapOS Client 2 Boinc/Condor/XtremWeb Workers Execute the requested application

  20. Supply of services • Predict the number of necessary instances for the application • Queuing Theory, Control Theory, Statistical Machine Learning • Automatic allocation mechanisms • Migration of virtual machines • Optimize the data transfer

  21. Interoperability of clouds • Various criteria • Description and application deployment: various APIs owners! • Architecture: centralized, hierarchical & distributed • Mechanisms of resource management: access to resources and task scheduling. • Security: multiple security mechanisms • How to normalize all these criteria?

  22. SLA management(Auto Trader) • SLA: Service Level Agreement, a contract agreement between the client and service provider • The step of negotiation is necessary between the client and supplier • Research • New Scheduling models taking into account economic constraints • Auto traders to establish the negotiation phase
