Follow @mikelangelo_eu In this article, we tell you how the MIKELANGELO project aims to improve the I/O performance of virtual machines. The inability of virtual machines to run HPC and big data applications in production due to low I/O performance motivates our work. Read on to learn why we want to improve the performance of…
Follow @mikelangelo_eu Why to Combine Vagrant and Docker In this article we will boost your development cycle to create Dockerfiles with Vagrant. If you’re into DevOps and you don’t use Vagrant yet, you should try it. In the Google Trends chart below you can see that it’s still gaining popularity. Vagrant provides a virtual development…
Follow @mikelangelo_eu We are happy to announce a postdoctoral research position in the area to cloud security at the Communication Systems Engineering Department at Ben Gurion University (BGU), Israel. The position is supported by a European Commissions Horizon 2020 ICT funded project, Mikelangelo (it’s obvious — right? it’s appearing on this page…). We are looking for a highly motivated…
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.…
Do you have what it takes to handle a large HPC and Cloud infrastructure at HLRS, one of the largest German supercomputing centres? If you are interested in the computing technologies of tomorrow, this post is for you. If you want to work on cutting edge on HPC and Cloud systems, this post is for you.…
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.…
On the 8th and 9th of July 2015 our Mikelangelo representative participated in the “Getting started!” workshop of the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) project (http://rri-ict.eu/). It took place in Brussels in the EGG, a modern post-industrial events location, which suited the interactive agenda of the workshop. engaging society…
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…
We have officially started the Mikelangelo project with a kick-off meeting in Ljubljana. Mikelangelo’s vision is to achieve significantly improved responsiveness, agility and security of virtual infrastructure through packaged applications, using the lean guest operating system OSv and super fast hypervisor – sKVM. Our mission is to provide the private cloud community with technologies for…
