Project Mikelangelo update

The MIKELANGELO project, a three-year initiative funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 program, aims to enhance cloud computing by supporting high-performance computing (HPC) and I/O-intensive applications. During a recent meeting in Brussels, the project's progress was lauded, with several technical innovations highlighted. ScyllaDB showcased Seastar, a C++ framework that significantly boosts the performance of server applications, and OSv, a Linux-compatible kernel optimized for cloud VMs, which was used for aerodynamic simulations by Pipistrel. Other partners, including Huawei, IBM, and Intel, presented advancements such as RDMA virtualization, I/O bandwidth improvements, and a telemetry framework for cloud measurement analysis. The project's collaborative, open-source approach promises to yield a more efficient, secure, and high-performing cloud infrastructure in the future.
