Abstract
Large scale distributed systems such as Grids are difficult to study from theoretical models and simulators only. Most Grids deployed at large scale are production plat-forms that are inappropriate research tools because of their limited reconfiguration, control and monitoring capa-bilities. In this paper, we present Grid’5000, a 5000 CPU nation-wide infrastructure for research in Grid computing. Grid’5000 is designed to provide a scientific tool for com-puter scientists similar to the large-scale instruments used by physicists, astronomers, and biologists. We describe the motivations, design considerations, architec-ture, control, and monitoring infrastructure of this experi-mental platform. We present configuration examples and performance results for the reconfiguration subsystem.
