OUTLINE • INRIA • MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS • VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS • OPEN QUESTIONS • CONCLUSIONS
INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET AUTOMATIQUE National Research Institute for Computer Science and Automatic Control Created 1967 Ministry of Research & Ministry of Industry http://www.inria.fr
OPALE • INRIA project (January 2002) • Follow-up SINUS project • Located Sophia-Antipolis & Grenoble • Areas NUMERIC OPTIMISATION (genetic, hybrid, …) MODEL REDUCTION (hierarchic, multi-grids, …) INTEGRATION PLATFORMS Coupling, distribution, parallelism, grids, clusters, ... APPLICATIONS : aerospace, electromagnetics, …
GRID COMPUTING • HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING • HIGH THROUGHPUT COMPUTING • PETA-DATA MANAGEMENT • LONG DURATION APPLICATIONS
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS AEROSPACE DESIGN AERODYNAMICS & ACOUSTICS
MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN • HIGH-LIFT DEVICES : 1 CRITERION / 1 DISCIPLINE : MAXIMIZE LIFT • DRAG-BUFFETING : 2 CRITERIA / 1 DISCIPLINE : MINIMIZE CRUISE DRAG & MAXIMIZE Cz BUFFET • AERO-ACOUSTICS & HIGH-LIFT DEVICES : 2 CRITERIA/ 2 DISCIPLINES : NOISE REDUCTION OF MULTI-ELEMENTS AIRFOILS DURING TAKE-OFF • SUPERSONIC REGIME & BANG : 2 CRITERIA/ 2 DISCIPLINES • SUPERSONIC REGIME & NOISE REDUCTION : 2 CRITERIA/ 2 DISCIPLINES
INTEGRATING MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS in VOs • INTEGRATION OF PARTNERS’ EXPERTISE TO DEPLOY COLLABORATIVE APPLICATIONS • NETWORKED PC-CLUSTERS, COMPUTERS & DATABASES TO SUPPORT MULTIDISCIPLINARY CHALLENGES • HIGH-LEVEL PROCEDURES FOR CONCURRENT ENGINEERING (CSCW, VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS & ENTERPRISES …) • INCLUDE CAD/CAM, MULTI-PHYSICS SOLVERS & OPTIMIZERS, VR, DIGITAL MOCKUPS, …
OPEN VO QUESTIONS • SHOULD & CAN VOs EMULATE PROBLEM SOLVING ENV. ? • HOW CAN COMPUTE & BUSINESS MODELS BE ADAPTED TO MAKE BEST USE OF VOs ? • WHERE DO VOs NOT MAKE SENSE ? • WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF OPERATING VOs ? • CAN VOs HELP FOR MULDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS ? • HOW TO USE VOs FOR HIGH I/O APPLICATIONS ? • HOW TO DESIGN VOs FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY ?
REQUIREMENTS • NEED FOR VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT • NEED FOR CSCW PROCEDURES & SUPPORT • NEED FOR GRID COMPUTING • NEED FOR DISTRIBUTED DATABASE TECHNOLOGY • NEED FOR FRIENDLY USER INTERFACES
VO PLATFORMS Communication System Web-based system Local Solvers Deterministic/Stochastic Optimizers Validation codes Distributed Data Bases CSCW GOVERMENT INSTITUTIONS Generic multiphysics test cases PC clusters Local Databases Graphic analysis tools Validation guidelines Computing System Grid computing environment Concurrent engineering platform INDUSTRY RESEARCH CENTRES AND UNIVERSITIES Industrial multi physics test cases High performance computers Multi-Physics optimisation PC clusters
VO FUNCTIONALITIES • DYNAMIC COLLECTIONS DISTRIBUTED USERS & RESOURCES • MAY OVERLAP & SPECIFIC VIEWS FEDERATED RESOURCES • SUPPORT MEMBERSHIP & ACCESS PROTOCOLS • SCALABLE & ROBUST ARCHITECTURE & PROTOCOLS • DISTRIBUTED ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT & SCHEDULING
VO : WHAT IS MISSING ? • VIRTUAL GROUPS, PROJECTS, TEAMS… ? • EASY ACCESS & CONTROL OF APPLICATIONS • FILLING THE GAP BETWEEN TECHNOLOGIES SHARING DATA BETWEEN VIRTUAL REALITY & CAD/CAM SOFTWARE • VALUE ADDED INCENTIVES vs. CURRENT RELUCTANCE • SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH LEGACY APPLICATIONS
VO : OPEN ISSUES • IS TECHNOLOGY HERE ALREADY ? • VIRTUAL REALITY • CSCW • ROBUST SHARING OF RESOURCES • DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS STEERING • INTERACTIVE REAL-TIME CHANGE MANAGEMENT
CONCLUSION PROVOCATIVE & PESSIMISTIC • ARE VOs NECESSARY ? • CONCEPT FOR BEST USE PRACTICE FOR EXISTING GRIDS ? • IF NOT, IS VOs ADDED-VALUE SO OBVIOUS ? • IF NOT, WHERE & HOW IS ADDED-VALUE ADDED ? • WHERE DOES ADDED-VALUE MAKE SENSE ?
CONCLUSION OPTIMISTIC LARGE DYNAMIC COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS « THE DIGITAL DYNAMIC AIRCRAFT »
