Latest news
New documentation for the FPGA nodes and wattmeter update in Grenoble
Documentation is now available at FPGA for the use of the FPGA nodes (servan cluster in Grenoble).
Furthermore, the Servan nodes' power supply units are now monitored by the Grenoble wattmeter and available in Kwollect.
Finally, due to the unreliability of the measures, Dahu is not monitored by the wattmeter anymore. Past problems with Yeti and Troll should now be fixed.

New cluster “servan” available in Grenoble, featuring FPGAs
We have the pleasure to announce a new cluster named “servan” available in Grenoble. It is composed of 2 Dell R7525 nodes, each equipped with two AMD EPYC 7352 24-Cores CPUs, 128GB of DDR4 RAM, two 1.6TB NVMe SSD, and a 25Gbps Ethernet.
Additionally, each node features a Xilinx Alveo U200¹ FPGA with two 100Gbps Ethernet ports connected to the Grid'5000 network.
For now, no support is provided by the Grid'5000 technical team to exploit those FPGAs. But please let us know if you plan to try and use those FPGAs.
This cluster has been funded by CNRS/INS2I to support the Slices project.
Warning: debian11-xen² is currently unavailable on servan due to a problem with the network cards.

Shorter command usage for Kadeploy tools
We changed the syntax of the Kadeploy commands. A typical command line for deployment was:
kadeploy3 -f $OAR_NODE_FILE -e debian11-x64-base -k
- The
-eflag can now be omitted when deploying a recorded environment, while when deploying an anonymous deployment, the-aflag must still be set. - The public key is copied by default,
-kcan be omitted. - Nodes to be deployed are taken from
$OAR_NODE_FILEif not specified on the command line with-for-m.
As a result, the same deployment can be achieved with the following shorter command line:
kadeploy3 debian11-x64-base
Moreover, the architectures are removed from the Grid'5000 reference environments names (eg: "debian11-x64-base" and "debian11-ppc64-base" both become "debian11-base"). Kadeploy infers the correct environment (CPU architecture) for the cluster to deploy. As a result, the previous kadeploy command line can be shortened to:
kadeploy3 debian11-base
Old syntaxes and environment names including the architecture are however still supported for backward compatibility.
You can find more information on the Getting Started and Advanced Kadeploy pages.

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.
