Latest news
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

Cluster "Hydra" is now in the testing queue in Lyon
We are pleased to announce that the hydra[1] cluster of Lyon is now available in the testing queue.
Hydra is a cluster composed of 4 NVIDIA Grace-Hopper servers[2].
Each node features:
Due to its bleeding edge hardware, usual Grid'5000 environments are not supported by default for this cluster.
(Hydra requires system environments featuring a Linux kernel >= 6.6). The default system on the hydra nodes is based on Debian11, but **does not provide functional GPU**. However, users may deploy the ubuntugh2404-arm64-big environment, which is similar to official Nvidia image provided for this machine and provides GPU support.
To submit a job on this cluster, the following command may be used:
oarsub -q testing -t exotic -p hydra
This cluster is funded by INRIA and by Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme with ENS Lyon support.
[1] Hydra is the largest of the modern constellations according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(constellation)

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.
