* 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.
 
<br>
==Introduction==
* '''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:

| Grid'5000 will allow Grid experiments France wide in all these software layers
|}
The current plans are to assemble a physical platform featuring 9 clusters, 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 at 1 Gb/s (10 Gb/s is expected in near future).
 
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.
 
<br>
==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 CPUs per site, was established according to the scale of the experiments and the number of researchers involved in the project.

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
