It is composed of 13 engineers, including 8 CNRS staff and 5 UPMC staff. Most of the equipment is gathered in a few specific technical rooms called "server rooms". They are equipped with a protected electrical infrastructure, itself also managed in- house. These premises represent a little more than 200m2, to which are added the distribution and/or printing rooms. The LIP6 offers its members common services, hosted on servers managed by computer engineers. These include e-mail servers, files, printers, backup robots. For servers and desktops, as well as document sharing (e.g., forge, cloud, nfs, git, svn,. ). It is also the IT department that manages the global network architecture, consisting of a 10 Gbytes wired network and a wireless infrastructure. In addition to these common services, the IT department manages test and calculation platforms, most of which are offered to free access. Some of them are intended for laboratory members, for instance lab rooms for electronic experiments, others are part of major and international projects, e.g., OneLab (European projet) and Equipex FIT recently labeled Research Infrastructure by the French government. Below is a non exhaustive list of platforms and facilities, some or all of which are managed by the LIP6. OneLab (https://onelab.eu/). • OneLab is an international federation of experimental platforms offering a unique, open and sustainable service. Initiated in 2014 by LIP6, OneLab combines various technologies of sensor networks, wireless networks, and distributed networks, offering a large scale heterogeneous set of devices and softwares that it is possible to experience in the same experiment. LIP6 hosts a part of the servers/nodes and has the control room of the entire platforms. Users are academics, SMEs, start-ups, and manufacturers. OneLab is linked with numerous European projects, e.g., F-Interop, ARMOR, and H2020 FED4FIRE+. FIT (https://fit-equipex.fr/). • FIT was initiated by LIP6 and started in 2013. FIT offers large-scale state-of-the-art wireless, sensing and mobility infrastructures for any builder of tomorrow’s systems and services, who wish to try out, test and validate his/her solution before implementing it in real-life. FIT gathers close to 3000 nodes grouped in various topologies. Platforms are spread across France. LIP6 hosts the control room, a wireless platform, and a Cloud platform. Two IT engineers (1 CNRS, 1 UPMC) are devoted to manage the whole infrastructure. Users are academics, SMEs, start-ups, and manufacturers. In December 2015, FIT has been labelled Research Infrastructure by the French government. PlanetLab Europe (https://www.planet-lab.org/). • PlanetLab Europe is the European portion of the publicly available PlanetLab testbed, a global facility for the deployment of new network services. Since 2008, hundreds researchers at top academic insti- tutions and industrial research labs have tested their experimental technologies on PlanetLab Europe, including: distributed storage, network mapping, peer-to-peer systems, distributed hash tables, and query processing. PlanetLab Europe currently consists of 343 nodes at 205 sites, LIP6 being one of them. The consortium operates under the direction of Timur Friedman of the LIP6 laboratory. Sofware Platform. The software platform provides LIP6 projects with project management tools includ- • ing an open source automation server (jenkins), a version management server (Git and SVN), a Cloud, and virtual machines for deployment (QEMU). Computation and Manycore Platforms. LIP6 provides several clusters dedicated to various experi- • ments, reachable from front-end servers offering reservation tools such as oar and kadeploy. The main set of platforms includes: – A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) cluster made of 8 cards TESLA M2090, 2 processors Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5690 @ 3.47GHz, and 192 GB of RAM; – Two HPC clusters, one with 29 nodes (112 cores, mainly processors Intel Xeon and some AMD Opteron Shangai) and a total of 752 GB, the other with 50 nodes (DELL PowerEdge); – Several multicore servers, including 3 servers based on Intel Core i7-3820 processors, a server 80 cores based on Intel Xeon Processor E7-8870, 3 servers ADM 48 cores, etc. Annexes-LIP6-3 HCERES AUTO-EVALUATION LIP6 Embedded Systems CAD. LIP6 has a long experience in designing and maintaining Linux (CAD) tools • for the design of digital integrated circuits. These tools (Alliance, Coriolis, Oceane, TAS/YAGLE, Ca- dence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics) are hosted on Linux servers and are used by academic researchers and manufacturers from various countries (Japon, Brazil, Egypt,...). They are also used for training. They allows FPGA designing, VHDL simulation an debug, synthesis, placement and routing, temporal analysis of VLSI, etc. Electronics Labs. LIP6 maintains two rooms dedicated to electronic experiments. The former is dedi- • cated to instrumentation and design in analog and digital electronics. It offers measuring devices (oscil- loscopes, power supplies, multimeters, network analyzers, clock generators, etc.) and stations with CAD tools. The latter is dedicated for experiments using optical sources, requiring airtight container, away from the sunlight. LIP6 hosts numerous other platforms/servers, mainly related to research projects (ANR, FUI,. ). Due to their impact with respect to the above list, they are omitted here but appear in each Appendix 4 of the concerned teams.

Ja Nein Mit der Einstellung der Arbeit in die Bibliothek bin ich einverstanden. .................................................................................... (Ort, Datum) (Unterschrift) Abstract The development of a game engine is considered a non-trivial problem. [3] The architecture of such simulation software must be able to manage large amounts of simulation objects in real-time while dealing with “crosscutting concerns” [3, p. 36] between subsystems. The use of object oriented paradigms to model simulation objects in class hierar- chies has been reported as incompatible with constantly changing demands dur- ing game development [2, p. 9], resulting in anti-patterns and eventual, messy re-factoring. [13] Alternative architectures using data oriented paradigms re- volving around object composition and aggregation have been proposed as a result. [13, 9, 1, 11] This thesis describes the development of such an architecture with the explicit goals to be simple, inherently compatible with data oriented design, and to make reasoning about performance characteristics possible. Concepts are for- mally defined to help analyze the problem and evaluate results. A functional implementation of the architecture is presented together with use cases common to simulation software. Zusammenfassung Die Entwicklung einer Spiele-Engine wird als nichttriviales Problem betrach- tet.

  • The Machine That Builds Itself: How the Strengths of Lisp Family
    Khomtchouk et al. OPINION NOTE The Machine that Builds Itself: How the Strengths of Lisp Family Languages Facilitate Building Complex and Flexible Bioinformatic Models Bohdan B. Khomtchouk1*, Edmund Weitz2 and Claes Wahlestedt1 *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract 1Center for Therapeutic Innovation and Department of We address the need for expanding the presence of the Lisp family of Psychiatry and Behavioral programming languages in bioinformatics and computational biology research. Sciences, University of Miami Languages of this family, like Common Lisp, Scheme, or Clojure, facilitate the Miller School of Medicine, 1120 NW 14th ST, Miami, FL, USA creation of powerful and flexible software models that are required for complex 33136 and rapidly evolving domains like biology. We will point out several important key Full list of author information is features that distinguish languages of the Lisp family from other programming available at the end of the article languages and we will explain how these features can aid researchers in becoming more productive and creating better code. We will also show how these features make these languages ideal tools for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. We will specifically stress the advantages of domain-specific languages (DSL): languages which are specialized to a particular area and thus not only facilitate easier research problem formulation, but also aid in the establishment of standards and best programming practices as applied to the specific research field at hand. DSLs are particularly easy to build in Common Lisp, the most comprehensive Lisp dialect, which is commonly referred to as the “programmable programming language.” We are convinced that Lisp grants programmers unprecedented power to build increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that may ultimately transform machine learning and AI research in bioinformatics and computational biology.

  • An Evaluation of Go and Clojure
    An evaluation of Go and Clojure A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Bachelors of Science in Computer Science Fall 2010 Robert Stimpfling Department of Computer Science University of Colorado, Boulder Advisor: Kenneth M. Anderson, PhD Department of Computer Science University of Colorado, Boulder 1. Introduction Concurrent programming languages are not new, but they have been getting a lot of attention more recently due to their potential with multiple processors. Processors have gone from growing exponentially in terms of speed, to growing in terms of quantity. This means processes that are completely serial in execution will soon be seeing a plateau in performance gains since they can only rely on one processor. A popular approach to using these extra processors is to make programs multi-threaded. The threads can execute in parallel and use shared memory to speed up execution times. These multithreaded processes can significantly speed up performance, as long as the number of dependencies remains low. Amdahl‘s law states that these performance gains can only be relative to the amount of processing that can be parallelized [1]. However, the performance gains are significant enough to be looked into. These gains not only come from the processing being divvied up into sections that run in parallel, but from the inherent gains from sharing memory and data structures. Passing new threads a copy of a data structure can be demanding on the processor because it requires the processor to delve into memory and make an exact copy in a new location in memory. Indeed some studies have shown that the problem with optimizing concurrent threads is not in utilizing the processors optimally, but in the need for technical improvements in memory performance [2].
