• Software:
  • Distem: DISTributed systems EMulator
  • Kadeploy: scalable, efficient and reliable deployment system (cluster provisioning solution) for HPC clusters
  • XPFlow: experiment control system for reproducible experiments

Publications

All my publications and talks since 2009 are available on the HAL Open Archive.
