Latest news
New Access Rules for Production Queue
We are introducing new access rules for clusters in the production queue. Clusters in this queue are now accessed based on priority levels that reflect their funding sources. Jobs submitted at higher priority levels are scheduled before those at lower levels and may also have longer maximum durations.
For more detailed information, please visit: https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Production#Using_production_resources . However, an important thing to note is that job submission commands that worked previously will still work after that change (but you might get higher or lower priority depending on your resources selection).
You can check your priority level for each cluster using https://api.grid5000.fr/explorer . Currently, this tool only displays basic information; however, we plan to add more features soon.
Please be aware that these changes apply only to the production clusters, which are currently available only in Nancy and Rennes. There are no changes to the "default" queue.
If you encounter any issues or have feedback regarding this new feature, or if you believe your priority level on specific resources is not adequate, please contact us at <support-staff@lists.grid5000.fr>.

Cluster "estats" is now in the default queue in Toulouse
We are pleased to announce that the estats cluster of Toulouse (the name refers to Pica d'Estats) is now available in the default queue.
As a reminder, estats is composed of 12 edge-class nodes powered by Nvidia AGX Xavier SoCs. Each node features:
Since it is not a cluster of server-class machines (unlike all current other Grid'5000 nodes), estats runs a different default system environment, but other common functionalities are the same (kadeploy etc., except kavlan which is not supported yet).
For the experimentations, it is recommended to deploy Ubuntu L4T.
More information in the Jetson page.
The cluster was funded by a CNRS grant.

The big variant of Debian 12 "Bookworm" environments is ready for deployments
We are pleased to inform you that the big variant of Debian 12 (Bookworm) environments is now supported for deployments in Grid'5000. Check `kaenv3 -l debian12%` for detailed information.
Notably, the NVIDIA driver has been updated to version 535.129.03, and CUDA has been upgraded to version 12.2.2_535.104.05_linux for the amd64 architecture.
The default environment available on nodes will continue to be debian11-std for the foreseeable future.
Please refer to the updated wiki documentation¹ for guidance on Debian 12-min|nfs|big usage.

Cluster "montcalm" is now in the default queue in Toulouse
We have the pleasure to announce that the "montaclm" cluster is now available in the default queue of the Toulouse site, which makes the site full-fledged again!
This cluster consists of 10 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10+ nodes with 2 CPUs Intel Xeon Silver 4314 (16 cores per CPUs), 256 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 894GB SSD.
Jobs submitted on the Toulouse site will run by default on this cluster.
Beside the "montcalm" cluster, the "edge-class" cluster "estats" is still available in the testing queue for now.
In order to support the SLICES-FR project, the site infrastructure has been funded by CNRS/INS2I and the "montcalm" cluster has been funded by University Paul Sabatier (UT3).
