The project consortium includes 9 leading universities of Switzerland including EPFL, Universities of Bern, Basel, St. Gallen, USI, ZHAW, FHNW, FFHS, and FHSG. The kick-off meeting took place on August 28, 2015, at the project coordinator\u2019s premises. The consortium is led by SWITCH.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After SWITCH, the major participant in the consortium is ICCLab. We are involved in three work packages, including one where ICCLab is the lead. In <a href=\"http:\/\/projects.switch.ch\/scale-up\/\" target=\"_blank\">SCALE-UP<\/a>, we will develop a Distributed Computing Platform (DCP) in the cloud that will allow researchers to provision and use their favorite data-processing framework (among a multitude of supported frameworks including <a href=\"https:\/\/hadoop.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hadoop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/spark.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spark<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/storm.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Storm<\/a>, etc.) on-demand over popular cloud frameworks such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openstack.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">OpenStack<\/a>. For researchers who may not know the most suitable framework for their data processing needs, the DCP will provide a matching algorithm that will guide the researcher to the most suitable framework interactively. It is foreseen that ICCLab will leverage the capabilities of <a href=\"http:\/\/hurtle.it\" target=\"_blank\">Hurtle<\/a> (http:\/\/hurtle.it) while implementing the DCP in this project.<\/p>\n<p>The figure below shows the high-level architecture envisioned in the entire SCALE-UP project.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/icclab\/files\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-12.37.18-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8887\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/icclab\/files\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-12.37.18-PM.png\" alt=\"SCALE-UP Architecture\" width=\"625\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/icclab\/files\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-12.37.18-PM.png 625w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/icclab\/files\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-12.37.18-PM-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/icclab\/files\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-12.37.18-PM-500x271.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As shown above, ICCLab will bring in their advance rating-charging-billing framework, <a href=\"http:\/\/icclab.github.io\/cyclops\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cyclops<\/a> (http:\/\/icclab.github.io\/cyclops\/) into SCALE-UP.
