• Abstract: This contract aims at building a regional computing platform. This is achieved by mixing desktop machines with dedicated ones like clusters. Users willing to submit a job will do so by accessing a web-page and uploading their program. It will then be scheduled and executed on a machine when available. A scheduler, a resource manager, and a web portal have been developed and are now operational.

  In the first part of the project, the access to the platform was restricted to Inria members. Now that most of the tools have been developed, the access is open to industrial partners.
