      SGE 8.1.9.Si    : a modified Son of Grid Engine prepared to work with TLS 1.2(Source TLS 1.3 Ready)
                        Many change arround TLS, Crypto and some bug solved in ticket of ark.liv but not in the shared code.
                        Binaries Port:
                        Linux: ARM(Rpi0 to Pi4),and Power8/9, Intel X64&x32, HPPA, octeon(mips).
                        Some extenal users confimed me, it work on IBM-AIX, RTOS and VXorks and could be compiled on Cygwin.
                        Software dependencies have been reduced to a minimum and Full Debian Support.

      SGE 10.0.0      : many problem to solve ex:
                        [OK] - TLS 1.3 AES-512 ==> pass mil and SIL4 TESTS (Retro compatible to allow migrations from >8.1.9 to 10)
                        [OK] - Internalized openpmotif v5 libraries
                        [  ] - A major issue with DRMAA2, theses libs are used in other grid engine like Slurm, TWM, HPWLM, Mercury ...
                               I am rewriting a DRMXX2 (currently copyrighted) this will replace buggy DRMAA2.
                        [  ] GREEN Computing: I am programing a method to switch off compute Virtual/physical node when not needed and/or manage power budget.
                                the target is to reduce power consumption.
                                in similar view, a way to manage performance when cooling of computer room fail  
                                ex: reduce active nodes or reduce performance to recover normal temperature.
                                Note: In Europe with recent events(WAR), a restriction of consumption, possibly energy shortage/blackout is to be expected, 
                                Some EU/CH politicians are planning an energy rationing, in this case, sleep or deep sleep functions in a job is not a luxury
                                one of the problems is to save the content of a GPU before powering off
                        [  ] start a job in a userspace
                        [  ] add ipV6/V4 and mnp Stack
                        [  ] Add node cleanup management (sge_sheepdog)
                        [  ] Add BAN/THOTHLE LIST and nfilter/packetfilter for mad grid users.
                        [  ] Tests to VxWorks, Aix, *BSD*, and Arch as Octeon, Power10, AMD64, ARM*.
                        [  ] SIL-4 TUV Certification for all binaries, ex: tol: 0 errors or job loss below 1^36 jobs, during a cyber attack.


                    note: for who use source of SGE 8.1.9 consider to recompile SGE when you made a system update


     KVM KERNEL       : To reduce Security risk I maintain idiap kernel
                        We maintain Kernel of 9 to 11
                        Accessorly I made a Kernel for Debian 8 with Spectre / Meltdown patches.
                        for thoses who love to use old "blunderbusses" from another age ;o)


     

HORSE OF BATTLE
Universities are the main targets of hackers.
This is normal because they have a lot of resources and most of the students have any basic notions of computer security.
What you can see in the attacks we are experiencing, many come from hacked universities, or from academics who have been hacked.

Many people tell me that they cannot do research with IT security, I retort that hackers share and fully approve this vision ;o)
