Intel Cloud Builder : Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud howto

paul — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:14:00 +0200

Un de mes projets de fin 2009 qui vient d'etre publie. Version complete technique ou version courte.

Une collaboration entre le labo Cloud d'Intel et Ubuntu (Canonical).

Abstract

For Cloud Service Providers, Hosters and Enterprise IT who are looking to build their own cloud infrastructure, the decision to use a cloud for the delivery of IT services is best done by starting with the knowledge and experience gained from previous work. The reference architecture on which this summary is based gathers into one place a complete example of running a Canonical* Ubuntu* Enterprise Cloud on Intel®-based servers and is complete with detailed scripts and screen shots. Using the contents of the paper should significantly reduce the learning curve for building and operating your first cloud computing instance.

Since the creation and operation of a cloud requires integration and customization to existing IT infrastructure and business requirements, it is not expected that the referenced paper can be used as-is. For example, adapting to existing network and identity management requirements are out of scope for the reference architecture. Therefore, it is expected that the user of the paper will make significant adjustments to the design to meet specific customer requirements.

The paper is assumed to be a starting point for that journey.

C'est moi qui l'ai fait : "Parallel Java Course From Thread to Cloud" et "Build Your Own Cluster with Oscar for BioInformatics"

Open Source, disponible sur parajava.sourceforge.net Avec du Hadoop, du JSR166 et du Google App engine dedans.

J'en ai parlé sur le Parallel Programming Talk #61 - Parallel Java with Intel's Paul Guermonprez (le mp3 est disponible sur le site)

Dans une veine un peu différente, il y avait aussi : "Build Your Own Cluster with Oscar for BioInformatics" dont les slides sont la

Helping the pharmaceutical industry fight drug counterfeiting

POST ON softwareblogs.intel.com :

If you talk to a pharmaceutical industrial, the conversation will certainly end up talking about drug counterfeiting. And let's admit it, that's an alarming problem for all the potential patients we are.

Various technologies and solutions have been demonstrated over the years, but this is a huge problem involving large-scale logistics, information security and far-reaching consequences. We are talking about a billion of boxes moving all over the world independently, with a box level traceability, highly sensitive patient information at the end of the chain, and that's just for one single pharmaceutical company.

So how does Intel become implicated in the problem? Well if you scrutinise the problem closely from the software developer point of vue, you will discover a number of daily routine similarities, even if the software represents only a small part of the problem.

Traceability means moving from a product to an information, and sharing it : after all that's the software developer's job. Worried about how the system could scale and how to get a good response time ? that's an application engineer's daily job. Or perhaps how hackers would react to your information sharing methods? let's gather 10 Intel engineers and ask them how they would break the system !

So I ended up writing a proposal this summer, brainstorming with colleagues to find and improve the weak points, trying to see how a real life pharmacist would like to interact with the system, how a hacker could break into the system, how as a patient I could have my answer ... and coding a prototype using a Medical Clinical Assistant and server.

We are now opening the discussion and meeting with the pharmaceutical industry to try to improve the proposition.

Talk at the Sun Tech Days in Milan

paul — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:38:00 +0200

I had a 1 hour talk at the sun tech days in milan today, a big event with giant screens and loud music before the talk, the all circus.

The slides are here, it was about the joint project between sun and intel to optimize the Java Virtual Machine on Xeon servers. I was between guys like princpal software engineers from sun and the head of the software dept, quite something ...

And as always in Italy, food is great ! I haven't seen top models yet, it's the fashion week in Milan they should be everywhere ... wait and see. One of the next tech days is in JoBurg in South Africa in march, i'm ready. Beijin is already full, too sad.
