As stated in a previous blog-post, at the beginning of this year we started with the project of migrating the open-source application Zurmo CRM into the cloud. In this first blog-post on the progress of this process we will describe our initial plan, show the basic components of a cloud-optimized application and talk about whether […]
At the beginning of this year the Cloud-Native Applications Seed Project (short: CNA Seed Project) was launched as described in this blog-post. The goal of the CNA Seed Project is to gain experience in what it takes to migrate an application into the cloud. So at the heart of this project lies the application that […]

This blogpost aims to give you a short introduction to InfiniBand. At the end you should have a rough overview over the technology, much of its terminology and on how to program a very simple RDMA application with IB verbs.
The first part explains the basic characteristics/properties of the InfiniBand technology and the physical parts that a network consists of. The second part takes a closer look at the logical parts of the technology that are needed for communication. In the third and last part I’ll explain the structure of a simple IB verbs application.
This blog post describes the installation of OpenStack Grizzly with help of the Stackforge Puppet-Modules on CentOS 6.4 – with the use of network namespaces. The setup consists of a controller/network and a compute node. Of course additional compute nodes can later be added as needed.
The ICCLab has now a new testbed for their work/research in the Cloud-Computing field at no other location than the datacenters of Equinix – one of our collaboration partners and generous donor of the rackspace – in Zurich. Schlagwörter: Datacenter, Equinix, icclab, OIL, Open Innovation Lab, XIFI
This blog post aims to give you an overview over what RTI Connext DDS is, how it works and in which context it is used here at the ICCLab. Furthermore it shows you how to set it up and implement a simple HelloWorld-like application. It is not intended to explain details or specific concepts. For this you are kindly referred to the very abundant and well written documentation which comes with the product or can be found online.
