Latest news
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:
The 12 modules are packaged in a chassis manufactured by Connecttech³.
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 Tegra² overlay on top of the Grid'5000 standard environment. This means:
This default environment does not include the required Tegra-specific version of Cuda.
In order 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 ubuntu2004-nfsl4t environment. E.g.:
ftoulouse$ oarsub -q testing -t exotic -p estats -t deploy -l nodes=1 -I
ftoulouse$ kadeploy3 ubuntu2004-nfsl4t
This tutorial page explains how this ubuntu2004-nfsl4t environment is built and how...
Debian 12 "Bookworm" environments - min and nfs variants are ready for deployments
We are pleased to announce that Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments' min and nfs variants are now supported for deployments in Grid'5000. See `kaenv3 -l debian12%` for details.
The default environment available on nodes will remain the same (debian11-std) for some time to come.
New features and changes in Debian 12 are described in: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html.
The wiki documentation¹ has been updated to take into account Debian 12-min|nfs usage.
Debian12-bookworm big will be available later.

New cluster “roazhon4” available in Rennes
We have the pleasure to announce a new cluster named “roazhon4” available in the production queue.
It features 1 Dell PowerEdge R7525 with 2 AMD EPYC 7H12 (Zen 2), x86_64, 64 cores/CPU 512 GiB of RAM, one 480 GB HDD SATA and one 2.0TB HDD SAS
This node comes from the migration of igrida00-04 node from Igrida cluster at the Inria Rennes center.
See our hardware page for details about this cluster: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Rennes:Hardware#roazhon4
About the name: Roazhon[1] is the name of Rennes city in Breton

End of support of Xen environments
Deployment statistics showed that Xen Kadeploy environments were rarely used, so we decided to end support for them, as they add a significant maintenance load.
The environments that were published up to now remain available for deployment (see /grid5000/README.unmaintained-envs), and the support remains in Kadeploy, but no future update to other environments will be made.
Documentation has also been archived in https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Unmaintained:Virtualization_in_Grid%275000_with_Xen
