Grid'5000

Grid'5000 is a large-scale and flexible testbed for experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science, with a focus on parallel and distributed computing including Cloud, HPC and Big Data and AI.

Key features:

  • provides access to a large amount of resources: 15000 cores, 800 compute-nodes grouped in homogeneous clusters, and featuring various technologies: PMEM, GPU, SSD, NVMe, 10G and 25G Ethernet, Infiniband, Omni-Path
  • highly reconfigurable and controllable: researchers can experiment with a fully customized software stack thanks to bare-metal deployment features, and can isolate their experiment at the networking layer
  • advanced monitoring and measurement features for traces collection of networking and power consumption, providing a deep understanding of experiments
  • designed to support Open Science and reproducible research, with full traceability of infrastructure and software changes on the testbed
  • a vibrant community of 500+ users supported by a solid technical team


Read more about our teams, our publications, and the usage policy of the testbed. Then get an account, and learn how to use the testbed with our Getting Started tutorial and the rest of our Users portal.

Grid'5000 is merging with FIT to build the SILECS Infrastructure for Large-scale Experimental Computer Science. Read an Introduction to SILECS (April 2018)

Latest news

Rss.svgNew 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

Rss.svgEnd 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Documentation has also been archived in https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Unmaintained:Virtualization_in_Grid%275000_with_Xen

Rss.svgNew cluster “montcalm” available in Toulouse

We have the pleasure to announce the re-opening of Toulouse site and a new cluster named “montcalm” available in the testing queue. It features 9 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10+ nodes with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 CPUs, 256GB of RAM, one 960GB SAS SSD.

See our hardware page for details about this cluster: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Toulouse:Hardware

In order to support the SLICES-FR project, the new site infrastructure has been funded by CNRS/INS2I and the cluster “montcalm” has been funded by University Paul Sabatier (UT3).

About the name: Montcalm [1] is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at 3,077 m (10,095 ft), located in the Ariège department, Midi-Pyrénées region of France.

Rss.svgEnd of availability of clusters chetemi et chifflet at Lille

Due to technical constraints, we have scheduled the shutdown of the "chetemi" and "chifflet" clusters hosted at the Grid'5000 site in Lille for June 30, 2023.

We invite you to anticipate this shutdown and use the other clusters available in Lille or on the other Grid'5000 sites.

Please visit https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Hardware

We're working on the installation of new clusters in Lille that will be connected to Grid'5000 after the summer. We'll let you know more about the details of the equipment and its availability in a future announcement.

If these retirements are a problem for you, do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding
