* The main purpose of this platform is to serve as an experimental testbed for research in Grid Computing.
== Current funding ==
* This project is one initiative of the [http://www.recherche.gouv.fr/recherche/fns/grid.htm French ACI Grid] incentive (see below: Funding Institutions) which provides a large part of Grid'5000 funding on behalf of the French Ministry of Research & Education.
 
 
 
[[Image:Software layers.png|thumbnail|271px|left|Grid'5000 will allow Grid experiments France wide in all these software layers]]
* '''Grid'5000''' is a research effort developping a '''large scale nation wide infrastructure for Grid research'''.
 
* '''17 [[Grid5000:Laboratories|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 local platform (at least one cluster per site), each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] Education and Research Network.
 
All clusters will be connected to Renater with a 10Gb/s link (or at least 1 Gb/s, when 10Gb/s is not available yet).
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
==Rationale==
'''The foundations of Grid'5000''' have emerged from a thorough analysis and numerous discussions about methodologies used for scientific research in the Grid domain. A report presents the [http://www-sop.inria.fr/aci/grid/public/Library/rapport-grid5000-V3.pdf rationale for Grid'5000].
 
In addition to theory, simulators and emulators, there is a strong need for '''large scale testbeds''' where real life experimental conditions hold. '''The size of Grid'5000''', in terms of number of sites and number of processors per site, was established according to the scale of the experiments and the number of researchers involved in the project.

Grid'5000 is a precursor infrastructure of SLICES-RI, Scientific Large Scale Infrastructure for Computing/Communication Experimental Studies.
Content on this website is partly outdated. Technical information remains relevant.

Grid'5000

Grid'5000 is a large-scale and flexible testbed for experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science, with a focus on parallel and distributed computing, including Cloud, HPC, Big Data and AI.

Key features:

  • provides access to a large amount of resources: 15000 cores, 800 compute-nodes grouped in homogeneous clusters, and featuring various technologies: PMEM, GPU, SSD, NVMe, 10G and 25G Ethernet, Infiniband, Omni-Path
  • highly reconfigurable and controllable: researchers can experiment with a fully customized software stack thanks to bare-metal deployment features, and can isolate their experiment at the networking layer
  • advanced monitoring and measurement features for traces collection of networking and power consumption, providing a deep understanding of experiments
  • designed to support Open Science and reproducible research, with full traceability of infrastructure and software changes on the testbed
  • a vibrant community of 500+ users supported by a solid technical team


Read more about our teams, our publications, and the usage policy of the testbed. Then get an account, and learn how to use the testbed with our Getting Started tutorial and the rest of our Users portal.

Latest news

Rss.svgEnd of support for centOS7/8 and centOSStream8 environments

Support for the centOS7/8 and centOSStream8 kadeploy environments is stopped due to the end of upstream support and compatibility issues with recent hardware.

The last version of the centOS7 environments (version 2024071117), centOS8 environments (version 2024071119), centOSStream8 environments (version 2024070316) will remain available on /grid5000. Older versions can still be accessed in the archive directory (see /grid5000/README.unmaintained-envs for more information).

Rss.svgEcotaxe cluster is now in default queue at Nantes

We are pleased to announce that the ecotaxe cluster of Nantes is now available in the default queue.

As a reminder, ecotaxe is a cluster composed of 2 HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2 servers[1].

Each node features:

  • 2 AMD EPYC 7453 (Zen 3), 28 cores/CPU
  • 3 Nvidia A100 80GB GPU
  • 256 GB memory
  • 1x 1.92 To SSD + 2x 7.68 To SSD
  • 100 Gb/s Intel Ethernet adapter [2].

    • To submit a job on this cluster, the following command may be used:

    oarsub -t exotic -p ecotaxe

    This cluster is co-funded by Région Pays de la Loire, FEDER and REACT EU via the CPER SAMURAI [3].

    [1] https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Nantes:Hardware#ecotaxe

    [2] The observed throughput depends on multiple parameters such as the workload, the number of streams, ... [3] https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/fr/recherche-innovation/collaborer/projet/samurai

    Rss.svgSome changes on the hardware configuration of Grenoble nodes

    We recently did some hardware changes on clusters yeti, troll and dahu.

    The changes are as follows:

  • yeti :

    • Following a malfunction of the two NVMe disks on yeti-3, an NVMe disk from yeti-1 has been transferred to yeti-3 to ensure that we have at least one functional NVMe disk per yeti node. New NVMe configuration of the nodes:
    • yeti-[1,3]: 1× NVMe
    • yeti-[2,4]: 2× NVMe

  • troll :

    • Due to experimentation needs, the steering committee agreed to change the hardware configuration of the troll cluster, replacing the Omnipath HPC network interconnect (interconnecting troll to yeti and dahu) by the Infiniband HPC network interconnect already available for the drac cluster.

  • dahu :

    • A few nodes of the dahu cluster recently encountered a recurrent problem with their OPA interfaces. Instead of fully retiring those nodes, we chose to disable their OPA interfaces.
    This change means that if you want to reserve a dahu node with OPA, you must specify it in your oarsub request. For example:

    oarsub -I -p "dahu and opa_count > 0"

    The nodes that have been modified are dahu-18, dahu-26 and dahu-30. More nodes may be added to this list in the future.

    Rss.svgCluster "clervaux" is now in the default queue in Luxembourg

    We are pleased to announce that the clervaux[1] cluster of Luxembourg is now available in the default queue.

    Clervaux is a cluster composed of 48 CPU nodes.

    Each node features:

  • 2x CPU Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 (14 cores/CPU, 2 threads/cores)
  • 128 GiB RAM
  • 1x 120GB SSD SATA disk

    • This cluster was funded by the University of Luxembourg.
