Latest news
Cluster "estats" (Jetson nodes in Toulouse) is now kavlan capable
The network topology of the estats Jetson nodes can now be configured, just like for other clusters.
More info in the Network reconfiguration tutorial.

Cluster "chirop" is now in the default queue of Lille with energy monitoring.
Dear users,
We are pleased to announce that the Chirop[1] cluster of Lille is now available in the default queue.
This cluster consists of 5 HPE DL360 Gen10+ nodes with:
Energy monitoring[2] is also available for this cluster[3], provided by newly installed Wattmetres (similar to those already available at Lyon).
This cluster was funded by CPER CornelIA.

Change of default queue based on platform
Until now, Abaca (production) users had to specify `-q production` when reserving Abaca resources with OAR.
This is no longer necessary as your default queue is now automatically selected based on the platform your default group is associated to, as shown at https://api.grid5000.fr/explorer/selector/ and in the message displayed when connecting to a frontend.
For SLICES-FR users, there is no change since the correct queue was already selected by default.
Additionally, the "production" queue has been renamed to "abaca", although "production" will continue to work for the foreseeable future.
Please note one case where this change may affect your workflow:
When an Abaca user reserves a resource from SLICES-FR (a non-production resource), they must explicitly specify they want to use the SLICES-FR queue, which is called "default", by adding `-q default` the OAR command.

Cluster "musa" with Nvidia H100 GPUs is available in production queue
We are pleased to announce that a new cluster named "musa" is available in the production queue¹ of Abaca.
This cluster has been funded by Inria DSI as a shared computing resource.
It is accessible to all Abaca users. Users affiliated with Inria have access with the same level of priority, regardless of the research center to which they are attached.
This cluster is composed of six HPE Proliant DL385 Gen11 nodes² with 2 AMD EPYC 9254 24-Core Processor, 512 GiB of RAM, 2 x Nvidia H100 NVL (94 GiB) with NVLink, one 6 TB SSD NVME and 25 Gbps Ethernet Connexion
Please note that in order to share it efficiently, walltime is limited:
The cluster "musa" is located at Sophia, hosted in the datacenter of Inria Centre at Université Côte d’Azur.
¹: https://api.grid5000.fr/explorer/hardware/sophia/#musa
²: the nodes are named musa-1, musa-2,.., musa-6
