Latest news
Support for persistent memory (PMEM)
Grid'5000 now features, among the different technologies it provides, some nodes with persistent memory.
Please find an introduction and some documentation on how to experiment on the persistent memory technology in the PMEM page.

New cluster "troll" available in Grenoble
We have the pleasure to announce that a new cluster called "troll" is available in Grenoble¹.
It features 4 Dell R640 nodes with 2 Intel® Xeon® Gold 5218, 16 cores/CPU, 384GB DDR4, 1.5 TB PMEM (Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory)²³, 1.6 TB NVME SSD, 10Gbps Ethernet, and 100Gb Omni-Path.
Energy monitoring⁴ is available for this cluster, provided by the same devices used for the other clusters in Grenoble.
This cluster has been funded by the PERM@RAM project from Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble (CNRS/INS2I grant).

New cluster available in Nancy: grue (20 GPUs)
We have the pleasure to announce that the Grue cluster in Nancy¹ (production queue) is now available:
It features 5 Dell R7425 servers nodes with four Tesla T4², 128 GB DDR4, 1x480 GB SSD, 2 x AMD EPYC 7351, 16 cores/CPU
As this cluster features 4 GPU per node, we remind you that you can monitor GPU (and node) usage using the Ganglia tool (std environment only):
- follow https://intranet.grid5000.fr/ganglia/?r=2hr&cs=&ce=&m=load_one&s=by+name&c=Nancy&tab=m&vn=&hide-hf=false
- then choose a node (eg. grue-2)
If your experiments do not require all the GPU of a single node, it is possible to reserve GPU³ at the resource level (see https://grid5000.fr/w/News#Enabling_GPU_level_resource_reservation_in_OAR for some examples). You can also use the nvidia-smi and htop commands on your reserved nodes to get more information about your GPU/CPU usage.
This cluster has been funded by Ihe CPER LCHN project (Langues, Connaissances & Humanités Numériques, Contrat de plan État / Région Lorraine 2015-2020), and the LARSEN and MULTISPEECH teams at LORIA / Inria Nancy Grand Est.
As a reminder, since this cluster is part of the "production" queue, specific usage rules apply.

We are conducting a survey to help us better understand your needs and make Grid'5000 a better research infrastructure.
We thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to complete it (you can answer in French if you prefer).
The survey is available at:
https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/672895
It will be open until December, 13rd.
