[[Image:Software layers.png|thumbnail|271px|left|Grid'5000 will allow Grid experiments France wide in all these software layers]]
* '''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.
 
 
 
The current plans are to assemble a physical platform featuring 9 local platform (at least one cluster per site), 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 with a 10Gb/s link (or at least 1 Gb/s, when 10Gb/s is not available yet).
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
==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.

  • 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.

Grid'5000 is merging with FIT to build the SILECS Infrastructure for Large-scale Experimental Computer Science. Read an Introduction to SILECS (April 2018)

Rss.svgCluster "estats" is now in the default queue in Toulouse

We are pleased to announce that the estats cluster of Toulouse (the name refers to Pica d'Estats) is now available in the default queue.

As a reminder, estats is composed of 12 edge-class nodes powered by Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs. Each node features:

  • 1 ARM64 CPU (Nvidia Carmel micro-arch) with 8 cores
  • 1 Nvidia GPU (Nvidia Volta micro-arch)
  • 32 GB RAM shared between CPU and GPU
  • 1 NVMe of 2TB
  • 1 Gbps NIC
  • Since it is not a cluster of server-class machines (unlike all current other Grid'5000 nodes), estats runs a different default system environment, but other common functionalities are the same (kadeploy etc., except kavlan which is not supported yet).

    For the experimentations, it is recommended to deploy Ubuntu L4T.

    More information in the Jetson page.

    The cluster was funded by a CNRS grant.

    -- Grid'5000 Team 9:51, March 6th 2024 (CEST)

    Rss.svgThe big variant of Debian 12 "Bookworm" environments is ready for deployments

    We are pleased to inform you that the big variant of Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments is now supported for deployments in Grid'5000. Check `kaenv3 -l debian12%` for detailed information.

    Notably, the NVIDIA driver has been updated to version 535.129.03, and CUDA has been upgraded to version 12.2.2_535.104.05_linux for the amd64 architecture.

    The default environment available on nodes will continue to be debian11-std for the foreseeable future.

    Please refer to the updated wiki documentation¹ for guidance on Debian 12-min|nfs|big usage.

    Rss.svgCluster "montcalm" is now in the default queue in Toulouse

    We have the pleasure to announce that the "montaclm" cluster is now available in the default queue of the Toulouse site, which makes the site full-fledged again!

    This cluster consists of 10 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10+ nodes with 2 CPUs Intel Xeon Silver 4314 (16 cores per CPUs), 256 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 894GB SSD.

    Jobs submitted on the Toulouse site will run by default on this cluster.

    Beside the "montcalm" cluster, the "edge-class" cluster "estats" is still available in the testing queue for now.

    In order to support the SLICES-FR project, the site infrastructure has been funded by CNRS/INS2I and the "montcalm" cluster has been funded by University Paul Sabatier (UT3).

    -- Grid'5000 Team 10:30, 18 Jan 2024 (CET)

    Rss.svgNew "edge-computing"-class nodes in Toulouse's testing queue: cluster Estats with 12 Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs

    A new cluster named "estats" is available in the testing queue of the Toulouse site, composed of 12 "Edge computing"-class nodes.

    Estats is composed of 12 Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs¹. Each SoC features:

  • a ARM64 CPU (Nvidia Carmel micro-arch) with 8 cores
  • a Nvidia GPU (Nvidia Volta micro-arch)
  • 32 GB RAM shared between CPU and GPU
  • a 2TB NVMe
  • 1 Gbps NIC
  • The 12 modules are packaged in a chassis manufactured by Connecttech⁴.

    Since it is not a cluster of server-class machines (unlike all current other Grid'5000 nodes), estats runs a different default system environment. This environment includes Nvidia's Linux for Tegra²³ overlay on top of the Grid'5000 standard environment. This means:

  • a Debian 11 system like other clusters, but
  • a special Linux kernel,
  • several specific tools and services,
  • and several incompatible tools (e.g. Cuda).
  • This default environment does not include the required Tegra-specific version of Cuda.

    To benefit from the whole Nvidia stack with e.g. the specific Cuda version and DL accelerators support for Nvidia Tegra, it is advised to deploy on the node the Nvidia-supported Ubuntu 20.04 OS with the full L4T support, using kadeploy. You can use the ubuntul4t200435-big environment. E.g.:

    ftoulouse$ oarsub -q testing -t exotic -p estats -t deploy -l nodes=1 -I

    ftoulouse$ kadeploy3 ubuntul4t200435-big

    This tutorial page explains how this ubuntul4t200435-big environment is built and how to...
