XtremWeb distributed computing platform aggregates volunteer PCs to establish a virtual cluster. This needs to deploy a little java software, the XtremWeb “worker”.XtremWeb computing service over laboratory PCs is starting on May 28th.As annonced on a previous article the XtremWeb distributed computing platform is deployed over the laboratory PCs.
The deployment is starting on May 28th.

This deployment is fully automated and needs no specific action from PC owners.

This does not concern laptops.

The site migrated to a more recent SPIP version.
In case of trouble, please contact us.

The XtremWeb@LAL web site is under migration.
The new web site now uses SPIP

The migration may take a while; sorry for inconveniences

This is just a copy of old site news

  • Platform upgraded to 1.7.0.
• Feb 3rd, 2006 : A major security hole found in Linux
  This does not directly concern XtremWeb, but may occur on Linux machines, including Linux workers:

  It seems that Linux kernel, up to 2.4.23, does not include OOM (Out Of Memory) process. This may leads to serious damages, including data loss, if any process (submitted with XtremWeb or not) requests far more than available memory.
  Linux 2.6.x does not seem to suffer such lacks.

  This is still under expertise…
