Latest news
New production cluster in Nancy: grvingt
We are happy to announce that a new cluster with 64 compute nodes and 2048 cores is
ready in the *production queue* in Nancy !
This is the first Grid'5000 cluster based on the latest generation of Intel CPUs (Skylake).
Each node has:
- two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 (Skylake, 2.10GHz, 2 CPUs/node, 16 cores/CPU)
- 192GB of RAM
- 1TB HDD
- one 10Gbps Ethernet interface
All nodes are also connected with an Intel Omni-Path 100Gbps network (non-blocking).
This new cluster, named "grvingt"[0], is funded by CPER CyberEntreprises (FEDER, Région Grand Est, DRRT, INRIA, CNRS).
As a reminder the specific rules for the "production" queue are listed on
https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:UsagePolicy#Rules_for_the_production_queue
[0] Important note regarding pronunciation: despite the Corsican origin, you should pronounce the trailing T as this is how "vingt" is pronounced in Lorraine.

Second interface on Lille's clusters
A second 10Gbps interface is now connected on the chetemi and chifflet clusters. Those interfaces are connected to the same switch as the first. KaVLAN is also available.

Updated Hardware and Network description
A detailed description of all Grid'5000 resources is now available on the Grid'5000 wiki, and generated on a regular basis from the Reference API, so that it stays up-to-date. (As you probably know, the Grid'5000 reference API provides a full description of Grid'5000 as JSON documents). Check out those pages:

Debian 9 environments now use predictable network interfaces names
All our Debian 9 environments have now been modified to use predictable network interfaces names (eno1, ens1, enp2s0, etc. instead of the traditional eth0, eth1, etc.), which is now the default on Debian and most other distributions. You can read more about this standard on https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames .
Because Grid'5000 nodes use different hardware in each cluster, the default network interface name varies, depending on whether it is included on the motherboard or an external NIC plugged in a PCI Express slot.
The mapping between old and new names is available on each site's Hardware page, such as https://www.grid5000.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Nancy:Hardware .
Some useful commands:
- ip link show up : show network interfaces that are up
- ip -o link show up : show network interfaces that are up (one-line format)
- ip addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up
- ip -4 addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up (IPv4 only)
- ip -o -4 addr show up : show network addresses for interfaces that are up (IPv4 only, one-line format)
If you want to stick with the old behaviour, you can either:
- use older versions of the environments, available in /grid5000
- change the environment description (kadeploy .dsc file) and add "--net traditional-names" to the call to g5k-postinstall.
Typically, that would mean:
- Get the current environment description:
kaenv3 -p debian9-x64-min > myenv.dsc
- edit myenv.dsc, find the "script:" line, and add "--net traditio"...
