The Grid'5000 spring school took place between April 6th, 2010 and April 9th, 2010 in Lille. This highly successful edition brought together 78 registered participants for 4 days of tutorials and talks focusing on best-practices, results and links to other tools for experiment-driven research.

* '''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.
* The infrastructure of Grid'5000 is geographically distributed on different sites hosting the instrument, initialy 9 in France. Porto Alegre, Brazil is now officially becoming the 10th site.

* '''Grid'5000''' is a research effort developping a '''large scale nation wide infrastructure for large scale parallel and distributed computing research'''.
* '''17 [[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.
All sites in France are connected to [http://www.renater.fr RENATER] with a 10Gb/s link.
This high collaborative research effort is funded by INRIA, CNRS, the Universities of all sites and some regional councils.
== 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 "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...
