What's going on in our project ?

The GriVon project (i.e., AIST cloud computing research) aims to develop a novel management framework for distributed computing resources among multiple datacenters. It covers cluster virtualization, datacenter migration, and Green IT initiatives.

The research topics includes:

SC11 in Seattle

At SC11 AIST will exhibit our latest research outputs including HPC and grid computing in the BOOTH #917.  We will prepare demos and posters that cover our  virtualization technologies:
  • Yabusame: Postcopy Live Migration for Qemu/KVM
  • Ohikkoshi: VMM-transparent Storage Migration
  • Kagemusha: Transparent MIPv6 Tunneling
  • MiyakoDori: Migration Acceleration by Memory Caching
  • Grivon: Energy-Aware IaaS Cloud System
  • Genetic Algorithm for Solving VM Packing Problems
  • Integer Programing Technique for Solving VM Packing Problems

Internet Conference 2011 in Fukuoka

Internet Conference 2011, one of the most significant conference covering a wide variety of researches in the Internet area, was held in Kyushu Sangyo University, Oct. 27th-28th 2011. Takahiro explained our ongoing research project for wide-area live migrations. We discussed our preliminary experience of using Mobile IPv6 for VM migrations.

VTDC2011 in San Jose

Now we are attending HPDC'11 held in San Jose. In the VTDC'11 workshop, Takahiro presented our reactive VM packing system exploiting postcopy live migration.
By using postcopy live migration, the packing system quickly optimizes VM locations in response to server load changes. It assures performance criteria of VMs in a higher degree than that of using precopy live migration. See more information at http://www.grid-appliance.org/wiki/index.php/VTDC11 .




ComSys2010 in Osaka

We enjoyed the poster and demonstration session in Comsys2010, which was held in Osaka, Nov. 29-30. Our prototype system of automatic VM packing correctly worked during the session.


More information will be updated soon.



SC10 in New Orleans

We are going to SC10, held in New Orleans, Nov. 15-18. Join the AIST booth!
See http://itri.aist-go.jp/en/about/sc.html for more information.

Booth:  3013
 
Web:  http://itri.aist-go.jp/en/index/html
 
Description: 
The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) is Japan's largest public research organization. We undertakes full research: from basic research to application, focusing on innovative middleware technologies through enhanced IT platform technology, improving energy efficiency and simplifying manageability through virtualization and integration of IT resources and services. We introduce some of our recent research projects focusing on Science Infrastructure and Green IT utilizing advanced programming tools, high-speed networking, database federation frameworks, and HPC cloud technologies.



Our research team gives you posters and demos in our booth #3013. We also prepare technical talks in Tuesday and Wednesday. Please check the booth presentation schedule of AIST; http://itri.aist-go.jp/en/about/sc.html .



Internet Conference 2010 in Tokyo

Takahiro presented a poster and live demo in Internet Conference 2010, held in Tokyo University, Oct. 26-27. The prototype of our VM packing system kept working correctly; it automatically reduced power consumption of our mini datacenter in response to the number of simultaneous server requests. We hope all serious bugs have gone, finally. We have come a long way!
