Latest news
Cluster "sirius" from Nvidia is available in the default queue
We have the pleasure to announce that a new cluster named "sirius" is available at Lyon.
This cluster consists in only one Nvidia DGX A100 node with 2 AMD EPYC 7742 CPUs (64 cores per CPU) and 8 Nvidia A100 (40 GiB) GPUs, 1TB of DDR4 RAM, 2x1.92 TB SSD + 4x3.84 TB SSD disks and a coming-soon infiniband network.
Energy monitoring is available for this cluster, provided by the same wattmeter devices as used for the other clusters in Lyon.
This cluster is tagged as "exotic", so the `-t exotic` option must be provided to oarsub to select sirius.
This machine has been funded by LIP laboratory with the support of INRIA Grenoble Rhone-Alpes and ENS Lyon.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS environment available
A kadeploy environment (image) for Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 LTS (ubuntu2204-min) is now available and registered in all Grid'5000 sites with Kadeploy.
Only x86_64 architecture is available for now. For ARM (arm64/aarch64) and POWER 8 (ppc64/ppc64le), you can use the previous Ubuntu 20.04 LTS images (ubuntu2004-min).
Please refer to our getting started document to learn how to deploy such an image on the platform [1].
This image is built with Kameleon (just like other Grid'5000 environments). The recipe is available in the environments-recipes git repository.
If you need other system images for your work, please let us know.

End of support for Debian 9 "Stretch" environments
We are going to drop support for the stretch/debian9 environments on April 30st 2022.
The last version of strech environments i.e 2021100608 will remain available on /grid5000. You can still access older versions of debian 9 environments under the archive directory (see /grid5000/README.unmaintained-envs for more information).

Syntax simplification of the OAR job submissions and removal of allow_classic_ssh job type
Three behavior changes about OAR on Grid'5000 have been made, to simplify the job submission commands.
1. Syntax simplification mechanism to ease OAR job submissions. As announced previously, a syntax simplification mechanism has been deployed on Grid'5000. It is now enabled by default (until today, its usage was available only by using the `syntax-simplifier` job type).
Here are some examples of its possibilities:
- `oarsub -p dahu-19` will reserve the dahu-19 node
- `oarsub -p dahu` will reserve one node on the dahu cluster
- `oarsub -p "ssd&256GB" -l nodes=2` will reserve two nodes with SSD storage and at least 256GB of memory
- `oarsub -l "{host+disk&grimoire}` will reserve one node on grimoire cluster with all its disks
- `oarsub -p "host IN (yeti-1,yeti-2,yeti-3)` will reserve one of the listed nodes (here FQDN and simple quotes are omitted)
Syntax simplification implements the following features:
- automatic addition of simple quotes for character strings in expressions
- automatic expansion of nodes' short names to long names (FQDN)
- usage of "&" as an alternative to "and"; "|" as an alternative to "or"
- aliases to translate short and simple keywords to OAR resource filter expressions, for the most common resources (GPUs, clusters, nodes, disks,…)
The available aliases and a more complete overview are available on the [OAR Syntax simplification] page. Please note that the standard OAR syntax is still supported. The simplifications described here are not replacements but additions. If you encountered any issues, the syntax simplification can be disabled by adding the `no-syntax-simplifier` job type at job submission (typically, by adding `-t no-syntax-simplifier` to your oarsub command line).
2. OAR's job type `allow_classic_ssh` is removed.
It is now possible to connect using `ssh` to nodes reser...
