Latest news
New clusters available in Lille
We have the pleasure to announce that 2 new clusters are available in Lille:
- chifflot : 8 Dell PE R740 nodes with 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6126 12C/24T, 192GB DDR4, 2 x 447 GB SSD + 4 x 3.639 TB SAS including
- chifflot-[1-6] nodes with 2 Nvidia P100
- chifflot-[7-8] nodes with 2 Nvidia V100
- chiclet : 8 Dell PE R7425 nodes with 2 x AMD EPYC 7301 16C/32T, 128GB DDR4
These nodes are connected with 25Gb Ethernet to a Cisco Nexus9000 switch (reference: 93180YC-EX)
The extension of the hardware equipment at the Lille's site of Grid'5000 is part of the Data (Advanced data science and technologies) CPER project carried by Inria, with the support of the regional council of Hauts-de-France, FEDER and the State.

100 Gbps Omni-Path network now available
Omni-Path networking is now available on Nancy's grele and grimani clusters.
On the software side, support is provided in Grid'5000 environments using packages from the Scibian distribution[0], a Debian-based distribution for high-performance computing started by EDF.
OpenMPI automatically detects and uses Omni-Path when available. To learn more about how to use it, refer to the Run MPI on Grid'5000 tutorial[1].
More new clusters with Omni-Path networks are in the final stages of installation. Stay tuned for updates!

During this week, we will change the access policy of home directories in order to improve the security and the privacy of data stored in your home directory.
This change should be transparent to most users, as:
- You will still have access to your local user home from reserved nodes when using the standard environment or when deploying custom environments such as 'nfs' or 'big'.
- You can still access every user's home from frontends (provided the access permissions allow it).
However, in other situations (give access to your home to other users, mount home directory from another site or inside a virtual machine or from a VLAN, ...), you will need to explicitely allow access using the new Storage Manager API. See https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Storage_Manager
Note that this change requires a switch to autofs to mount /home in user environments. This should be transparent in most cases because g5k-postinstall (used by all reference environments) has been modified. However, if you use an old environment, it might require a change either to switch to g5k-postinstall, or to switch to autofs. Contact us if needed.

New cluster in Nantes: ecotype
We have the pleasure to announce a new cluster called "ecotype" hosted at the IMT Atlantique campus located in Nantes. It features 48 Dell Powerdege R630 nodes with 2 Intel Xeon E5-2630L v4, 10C/20T, 128GB DDR4, 372GB SSD and 10Gbps Ethernet.
This cluster has been funded by the CPER SeDuCe (Regional concil of the Pays de la Loire, Nantes Metropole, Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique, IMT Atlantique and the French government).
