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.

End of support for Debian10 environments

Support for the debian10/buster kadeploy environments is stopped due to the end of upstream support and compatibility issues with recent hardware.

The last version of the debian10 environments (version 2025082716) will remain available on /grid5000. Older versions can still be accessed in the archive directory (see /grid5000/README.unmaintained-envs for more information).

Cluster "chuc" is now in the default queue in Lille

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

Chuc is a cluster composed of 8 nodes Apollo 6500 Gen10 Plus.

Each node features:

1x CPU AMD EPYC 7513 (Zen 3), x86_64, 32 cores/CPU

4x GPU Nvidia A100-SXM4-40GB (40 GiB)

512 GiB RAM

4x 1.92 TB SSD SAS HPE

Due to a wattmeter hardware error, the cluster's energy consumption cannot be monitored via wattmeters yet.

You will be informed when the physical energy monitoring is available on this cluster.

This cluster was funded by the CornelIA CPER project.
