Latest news
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.

Cluster "estats" (Jetson nodes in Toulouse) is now kavlan capable
The network topology of the estats Jetson nodes can now be configured, just like for other clusters.
More info in the Network reconfiguration tutorial.

Cluster "chirop" is now in the default queue of Lille with energy monitoring.
Dear users,
We are pleased to announce that the Chirop[1] cluster of Lille is now available in the default queue.
This cluster consists of 5 HPE DL360 Gen10+ nodes with:
Energy monitoring[2] is also available for this cluster[3], provided by newly installed Wattmetres (similar to those already available at Lyon).
This cluster was funded by CPER CornelIA.

Change of default queue based on platform
Until now, Abaca (production) users had to specify `-q production` when reserving Abaca resources with OAR.
This is no longer necessary as your default queue is now automatically selected based on the platform your default group is associated to, as shown at https://api.grid5000.fr/explorer/selector/ and in the message displayed when connecting to a frontend.
For SLICES-FR users, there is no change since the correct queue was already selected by default.
Additionally, the "production" queue has been renamed to "abaca", although "production" will continue to work for the foreseeable future.
Please note one case where this change may affect your workflow:
When an Abaca user reserves a resource from SLICES-FR (a non-production resource), they must explicitly specify they want to use the SLICES-FR queue, which is called "default", by adding `-q default` the OAR command.
