Latest news
Cluster "estats" is now in the default queue in Toulouse
We are pleased to announce that the estats cluster of Toulouse (the name refers to Pica d'Estats) is now available in the default queue.
As a reminder, estats is composed of 12 edge-class nodes powered by Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs. Each node features:
Since it is not a cluster of server-class machines (unlike all current other Grid'5000 nodes), estats runs a different default system environment, but other common functionalities are the same (kadeploy etc., except kavlan which is not supported yet).
For the experimentations, it is recommended to deploy Ubuntu L4T.
More information in the Jetson page.
The cluster was funded by a CNRS grant.

The big variant of Debian 12 "Bookworm" environments is ready for deployments
We are pleased to inform you that the big variant of Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments is now supported for deployments in Grid'5000. Check `kaenv3 -l debian12%` for detailed information.
Notably, the NVIDIA driver has been updated to version 535.129.03, and CUDA has been upgraded to version 12.2.2_535.104.05_linux for the amd64 architecture.
The default environment available on nodes will continue to be debian11-std for the foreseeable future.
Please refer to the updated wiki documentation¹ for guidance on Debian 12-min|nfs|big usage.

Cluster "montcalm" is now in the default queue in Toulouse
We have the pleasure to announce that the "montaclm" cluster is now available in the default queue of the Toulouse site, which makes the site full-fledged again!
This cluster consists of 10 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10+ nodes with 2 CPUs Intel Xeon Silver 4314 (16 cores per CPUs), 256 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 894GB SSD.
Jobs submitted on the Toulouse site will run by default on this cluster.
Beside the "montcalm" cluster, the "edge-class" cluster "estats" is still available in the testing queue for now.
In order to support the SLICES-FR project, the site infrastructure has been funded by CNRS/INS2I and the "montcalm" cluster has been funded by University Paul Sabatier (UT3).

New "edge-computing"-class nodes in Toulouse's testing queue: cluster Estats with 12 Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs
A new cluster named "estats" is available in the testing queue of the Toulouse site, composed of 12 "Edge computing"-class nodes.
Estats is composed of 12 Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs¹. Each SoC features:
The 12 modules are packaged in a chassis manufactured by Connecttech⁴.
Since it is not a cluster of server-class machines (unlike all current other Grid'5000 nodes), estats runs a different default system environment. This environment includes Nvidia's Linux for Tegra²³ overlay on top of the Grid'5000 standard environment. This means:
This default environment does not include the required Tegra-specific version of Cuda.
To benefit from the whole Nvidia stack with e.g. the specific Cuda version and DL accelerators support for Nvidia Tegra, it is advised to deploy on the node the Nvidia-supported Ubuntu 20.04 OS with the full L4T support, using kadeploy
. You can use the ubuntul4t200435-big
environment. E.g.:

-q testing -t exotic -p estats -t deploy
-l nodes=1 -I
ftoulouse$
