Introduction
Grid'5000 is a research effort developping a large scale nation wide infrastructure
for Grid research.
17 laboratories are involved, nation wide, in the objective of providing
the community of Grid researchers a testbed allowing experiments in all the
software layers between the network protocols up to the applications:

The current plans are to assemble a physical platform featuring 9 clusters, each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the Renater Education and Research Network. All clusters will be connected to Renater at 1 Gb/s (10 Gb/s is expected in near future).
This high collaborative research effort is funded by the French ministry of Education and Research, INRIA, CNRS, the Universities of all sites and some regional councils.
