Cluster "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:
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.

Cluster "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:
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)
