<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 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Content on this website is partly outdated.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.svgCluster "larochette" is now in the default queue in Luxembourg

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

Larochette is a cluster composed of 7 nodes, each with 4 MI210 AMD GPUs.

The node features:

  • 2x CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8568Y+ (48 cores/CPU, 2 threads/cores)
  • 4x AMD Instinct MI210 (64 GiB each)
  • 512 GiB RAM
  • 1x 3.2TB NVME disk

    • This cluster was funded by the University of Luxembourg.

    Rss.svgSLICES-FR School 2025

    Ecole-SLICES-FR-2025.png

    The first SLICES-FR School is organized from July 7th to 11th in Lyon.

    This free event, co-organized with the PEPR Cloud and Networks of the Future, brings together researchers, engineers and professionals to explore advances in distributed computing, edge computing, reprogrammable networks and the IoT.

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

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

    Vianden is a cluster of a single node with 8 MI300X AMD GPUs.

    The node features:

  • 2x CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8470 (52 cores/CPU, 2 threads/cores)
  • 8x AMD Instinct MI300X (192 GiB each)
  • 2TiB RAM
  • 1x 3.2TB NVME disk

    • The AMD MI300X GPUs are not supported by Grid'5000 default system (Debian 11). However, one can easily unlock full GPU functionality by deploying the ubuntu2404-rocm environment:

    fluxembourg$ oarsub -t exotic -t deploy -p vianden -I

    fluxembourg$ kadeploy3 -m vianden-1 ubuntu2404-rocm

    More information in the Exotic page.

    This cluster was funded by the University of Luxembourg.

    Rss.svgCluster "hydra" is now in the default queue in Lyon

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

    As a reminder, Hydra is a cluster composed of 4 NVIDIA Grace-Hopper servers[2].

    Each node features:

  • 1 Nvidia Grace ARM64 CPU with 72 cores (Neoverse-V2)
  • 1 Nvidia Hopper GPU
  • 512GB LPDDR5 memory
  • 96GB HBM memory
  • 1x1To SSD NVME + 1x1.92To SCSI disk

    • Due to its bleeding-edge hardware, the usual Grid'5000 environments are not supported by default for this cluster.

    (Hydra requires system environments featuring a Linux kernel >= 6.6). The default system on the hydra nodes is based on Debian 11, but **does not provide functional GPUs**. However, users may deploy the ubuntugh2404-arm64-big environment, which is similar to the official Nvidia image provided for this machine and provides GPU support.

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

    oarsub -t exotic -p hydra

    This cluster is funded by INRIA and by Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme with ENS Lyon support.

    [1] Hydra is the largest of the modern constellations according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(constellation)
