* '''Grid'5000''' is a scientific instrument for the study of large scale parallel and distributed systems. It aims at providing a '''highly reconfigurable, controlable and monitorable experimental platform''' to its users. The initial aim (circa 2003) was to reach 5000 processors in the platform. It has been reframed at 5000 cores, and was reached during winter 2008-2009.
==Latest news==
* The infrastructure of Grid'5000 is geographically distributed on different sites hosting the instrument, initially 9 sites in France (10 since 2011). Porto Alegre, Brazil is now officially becoming the first site abroad.

* '''19 [[Grid5000:Laboratories|laboratories]]''' are involved in France with the objective of providing the community a testbed allowing experiments in all the software layers between the network protocols up to the applications.
The current plans are to extend from the 9 initial sites each with 100 to a thousand PCs, connected by the [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] Education and Research Network to a bigger platform including a few sites outside France not necessarily connected through a dedicated network connection. Sites in Brazil and Luxembourg should join shortly, and Reims has now joined.
All sites in France are connected to [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] with a 10Gb/s link, except Reims, for the time linked through a 1Gb/s
This high collaborative research effort is funded by INRIA, CNRS, the Universities of all sites and some regional councils.

[[Hemera|Héméra]] is an INRIA Large Wingspan project, started in 2010, that aims at demonstrating ambitious up-scaling techniques for large scale distributed computing by carrying out several dimensioning experiments on the Grid’5000 infrastructure, at animating the scientific community around Grid’5000 and at enlarging the Grid’5000 community by helping newcomers to make use of Grid’5000.
== Initial 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.

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)

    Rss.svgCluster "chirop" is now in the default queue of Lille with energy monitoring.

    Dear users,

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

    This cluster consists of 5 HPE DL360 Gen10+ nodes with:

  • 2 CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 (32 cores per CPU)
  • 512 GiB memory
  • 1*1.92TB SSD NVME + 2*3.84TB SSD
  • 2*25 Gbps Ethernet interface

    • Energy monitoring[2] is also available for this cluster[3], provided by newly installed Wattmetres (similar to those already available at Lyon).

    This cluster was funded by CPER CornelIA.
