Nicolas Niclausse

What I do:

Technical support and system administration of the local clusters and the Grid'5000 platform of INRIA Sophia Antipolis (more than 275 nodes --IA32 and AMD64-- running different flavors of Linux, MPI libraries, Torque/Maui scheduler, OAR/Kadeploy, etc. )
Member of the Grid'5000 technical committee
Software development: in the OASIS team until nov 2006 (Java/ProActive), now in the Ariana team (C++)

I spent 6 month in PostDoc in the MISTRAL team in 1999, and 3 month in the research team Réseaux à Haut Débit at ENST-Paris.
I finished my thesis in june 1999: Modeling, performance analysis and dimensionning of WWW servers (particulary, the W3 Consortium server). You can find some bibliographical references on the subject (also in BibTeX format). I also worked on Web caching
The page describing activities of MISTRAL team concerning the WWW.
WAGON, a Web server benchmarking tool developped in the Mistral team.

I wrote a small (and not documented) trace-driven simulator of Web cache replacement policies WCPsimul-0.30.tar.gz; the source code (wrote for g++-2.8.1 and libg++, now obsoleted) as well as a linux (i386/libc5) binary is provided in the tar file.
