Latest news
New cluster grappe available in the production queue
We have the pleasure to announce that a new cluster named "grappe" is available at Nancy¹.
We chose that name to celebrate the famous alsatian wines, as the network part of grappe was wrongly delivered in Strasbourg. We interpreted that funny event as a kind of "birth origin".
The cluster features 16 Dell R640 nodes with 2 Intel® Xeon® Gold 5218R (20 cores/CPU), 96 GB of RAM, a 480 GB SSD + a 8.0 TB HDD reservable disk and 25 Gbps Ethernet.
Energy monitoring² is available for the cluster.
The cluster has been funded by the CPER IT2MP (Contrat Plan État Région, Innovations Technologiques, Modélisation & Médecine Personnalisée) and FEDER (Fonds européen de développement régional)³.

ARM64 cluster Pyxis available in the default queue
We have the pleasure to announce that the "pyxis" cluster in Lyon is now available in the default queue !
It is composed of 4 nodes with ARM64 CPUs (ThunderX2 9980 with 2x32 cores), 256 GB RAM, 2 x 250 GB HDD, 10 Gbps Ethernet, 100 Gbps Infiniband interface. Each node power consumption is monitored with the Lyon wattmetre.
Pyxis nodes must be reserved using the "exotic" oar job type (add "-t exotic -p cluster='pyxis' " to your OAR submission).
Several arm64 environments are available to be deployed on this cluster: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Advanced_Kadeploy#Search_and_deploy_an_existing_environment
This cluster has been funded by the CPER LECO++ Project (FEDER, Région Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, DRRT, Inria).

Grid'5000 now offers IPv6 connectivity to Internet from nodes !
To get a global IPv6 address on an interface, you can run dhclient -6 <interface> on your node.
Inside Grid'5000, new DNS entries have been added. For example :
-
dahu-1-ipv6.grenoble.grid5000.frfor the IPv6 address on the main interface of dahu-1 -
chetemi-2-eth1-ipv6.lille.grid5000.frfor the IPv6 address on the secondary interface of chetemi-2
Please note that IPv6 connectivity to Internet is now available but we are still working on some improvements and additional features such as :
- IPv6 addresses for Kavlan. It is only for production network for the moment.
- A tool to open access to your nodes from Internet. Incoming traffic from Internet to nodes is currently filtered.

Refactoring of the users' portal
We refactored the users' portal page of the Grid'5000 website, in order to give a better structure to the set of tutorials and guides. Some titles were slightly modified as well as some content, but you should be able to find all the information you were using so far easily.
For new comers, we hope it will be easier to find out efficiently how to use the testbed and its many features.
Also note that we removed the list of pages automatically provided by the wiki engine at the bottom, as we think this was not so relevant. All pages, even the outdated ones, can however still be found in the wiki.
