Latest news
New service available: reconfigurable Firewall for IPv6
Dear users,
A new service is available, which allows opening the Grid'5000 firewall for IPv6 connections from the Internet.
This service should allow an easier interconnection between experiments in Grid5000 and outside resources, without the burden and performance impact of having to setup tunnels (VPNs, ssh tunnels, etc.)
To benefit from this new possibility, you need to use IPv6 (Grid'5000 nodes have globally routable IPv6 addresses, which allows these nodes to be connected from the Internet, whereas in IPv4, network address translation prevents the connections to be initiated from the outside).
Grid'5000 firewall openings are requested using an API (which allows complete automation of these requests). These openings are allowed for Grid'5000 nodes in the context of OAR jobs and are closed at the end of the jobs.
A detailed documentation and usage example is available in the wiki: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Reconfigurable_Firewall
IPv6 related documentation is also available in the wiki: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/IPv6

Usage policy update: changing the BIOS or BMC setting or flashing firmware is not allowed
Dear users,
The platform's usage policy was completed in order to prevent uncontrolled changes of BIOS or BMC settings or any device firmware.
Please read https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:UsagePolicy#Changing_the_BIOS_or_BMC_setting_or_flashing_firmware_is_not_allowed.

Grid'5000 metadata bundler is available in alpha version
Dear users,
When running experiments on Grid'5000, users generate metadata across multiple services.
The extraction and the storage of this metadata is useful for matters of scientific data management and reproducibility. We are currently developing a tool designed to collect this metadata concerning an experiment from the different Grid'5000 services and bundle it in a single compressed archive. Making it easier to find, study, and store information about your experiments.
The g5k-metadata-bundler is now available in alpha version on all Grid'5000 node frontends.
At this point in time, the bundles generated by g5k-metadata-bundler contains:
- the OAR information of a single job,
- copies from the specifications of the nodes involved,
- all monitoring information collected by kwollect during the job.
As the software is still in alpha version, the contents and structure of the bundle is subject to changes and a list of planned features is available on the dedicated wiki page.
We are also interested in user feedback on the support mailing list.

New AMD cluster named "neowise" available in Lyon for testing
Dear users,
A new cluster, named "neowise" is available in Lyon for testing.
This machine is a donation from AMD to Genci and Inria to support the French research community (in particular for works in relation with COVID19).
The cluster has 10 nodes, each including an AMD EPYC 7642 48-Core processor, 512GB of RAM, 8 Radeon MI50 GPUs, and an HDR Infiniband network (200Gbs). Its full characteristics are described at: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Lyon:Hardware#neowise
The cluster is still in testing phase and few issues are known:
- Few nodes currently have problems and will be unavailable until fixed - The software stack to use AMD GPUs is incomplete. The HIP compiler is included in default environment but many libraries or software (such as Deep Learning frameworks) are lacking. They will be added soon (mostly as "environment modules") - Some Grid'5000 "advanced" features are missing. An overview of what is working correctly is available at: https://intranet.grid5000.fr/jenkins-status?config=neowise
The neowise cluster is tagged as "exotic" and is currently available in "testing" queue. To submit a job, don't forget to add the appropriate options to oarsub. For instance:
$ oarsub -q testing -t exotic -p "cluster = 'neowise'" -I
We would like to thank AMD for this donation and Genci for their successful collaboration in making this machine available in Grid'5000.
