In this post we describe the use of the Capstan tool being extended within MIKELANGELO project. Capstan is a member of the Lightweight Execution Environment Toolbox (LEET) responsible for the management of composable application packages and OSv unikernel lifecycle. This post explains how these packages are prepared so that they are 100% compatible with OSv…
Pipistrel, a Slovenian light aircraft manufacturer, uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to design its aircrafts. Pipistrel is currently limited to a small in-house cluster, that is why it is exploring different options in order to increase the fidelity and reduce the calculations time of its CFD simulations. Pipistrel’s main CFD software is…
This post is the last in series of Microservice Demo Application posts. If you haven’t already, you can check first two parts below: The Microservice Demo Application (Introduction) The Microservice Demo Application (Running Inside OSv Unikernels Locally) This last part of Microservice Demo Application blog series introduces you to running the application on Kubernetes, still…
This post is a continuation of Microservice Demo Application post where Node.js application is described: The Microservice Demo Application (Introduction) The last part of this blog series will introduce you to Running the Application Inside OSv Unikernels On Kubernetes Introduction Application osv-microservice-demo serves for demonstration purposes of the improvements made to OSv and Capstan in…
In this post we introduce the Microservice Demo Application and demonstrate how to run it locally, e.g. in your development environment. This is the first part of a three-part blog post. The other parts in this series will be: The Microservice Demo Application (Running Inside OSv Unikernels Locally) The Microservice Demo Application (Running Inside OSv…
MIKELANGELO was at the OpenStack Summit event, presenting the talk titled HPC, Unikernels and OpenStack, as part of the HPC Research track. The session focused on lessons learned while integrating HPC workloads with unikernels on top of OpenStack. This blog post is a summary of the presentation given by project’s coordinators, Daniel Vladušič and Gregor…
Follow @mikelangelo_eu Have you ever wondered what happens if you put Europe’s finest cloud computing researchers in one place for three days? So have we. This is why we are joining the Cloud Forward 2015 Conference in Pisa. We are excited to discuss the future of computing with European thought leaders in all things cloud.…
The third MIKELANGELO face-to-face meeting took place on 8th and 9th of September 2015 in the Swabian metropolis of Stuttgart. A surprising amount of greenery gives the city its unique character. HLRS (University of Stuttgart) kindly hosted the meeting at their premises and also took the more-than-interested group of MIKELANGELO people into their major machine rooms.…
As Mikelangelo is focusing on the performance issues in Cloud and HPC technology stacks, we’re in a position where traceability of our experiments is of significant importance. We need to facilitate both ourselves in the later stages of the project as well as others to reproduce our experiments in a fully controlled way. To this…
The Mikelangelo Team The second Mikelangelo face-to-face meeting (10th and 11th of June 2015) brought summer to Ireland, all 3 days of it, if we’re to believe the taxi driver. Intel kindly hosted the general assembly meeting at their facilities in Leixlip. The main objective of the meeting was to define and strengthen the project’s objectives before…
