Grid'5000

Grid'5000 is a large-scale and versatile testbed for experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science, with a focus on parallel and distributed computing including Cloud, HPC and Big Data.

Key features:

provides access to a large amount of resources: 1000 nodes, 8000 cores, grouped in homogeneous clusters, and featuring various technologies: 10G Ethernet, Infiniband, GPUs, Xeon PHI
highly reconfigurable and controllable: researchers can experiment with a fully customized software stack thanks to bare-metal deployment features, and can isolate their experiment at the networking layer
advanced monitoring and measurement features for traces collection of networking and power consumption, providing a deep understanding of experiments
designed to support Open Science and reproducible research, with full traceability of infrastructure and software changes on the testbed
a vibrant community of 500+ users supported by a solid technical team

Read more about our teams, our publications, and the usage policy of the testbed. Then get an account, and learn how to use the testbed with our Getting Started tutorial and the rest of our Users portal.

Recently published documents:

Grid'5000 is supported by a scientific interest group (GIS) hosted by Inria and including CNRS, RENATER and several Universities as well as other organizations. Inria has been supporting Grid'5000 through ADT ALADDIN-G5K (2007-2013), ADT LAPLACE (2014-2016), and IPL HEMERA (2010-2014).

-Snooze based entry running on Grid'5000 entry wins [http://www.pds.ewi.tudelft.nl/ccgrid2013/awards/ 2nd prize] at [http://www.pds.ewi.tudelft.nl/ccgrid2013/ CCGrid 2013] [http://www.pds.ewi.tudelft.nl/ccgrid2013/calls/scale-challenge/ SCALE challenge]: well done Matthieu and Anne-Cécile for defending the entry titled ''Scalability of the Snooze Autonomic Cloud Management System'' by Eugen Feller, Christine Morin, Matthieu Simonin, Anne-Cécile Orgerie, and Yvon Jégou.
-=== Grid'5000 users finalists of the SCALE'2013 challenge ===
-Two submissions (out of five) from Grid'5000 users took part in the final of the international SCALE'2013 challenge (held with CCGrid'2013):
-* D. Balouek, A. Lèbre, F. Quesnel Flauncher and DVMS -- Deploying and Scheduling Thousands of Virtual Machines on Hundreds of Nodes Distributed Geographically
-* Eugen Feller, Christine Morin, Matthieu Simonin, Anne-Cécile Orgerie, and Yvon Jégou -- Scalability of the Snooze Autonomic Cloud Management System.
-The first proposition presents the deployment and scheduling of thousands of virtual machines, conducted with the Flauncher and DVMS frameworks, across the Grid'5000 testbed.
-The frameworks have been able to deploy and schedule up to 10000 VMs during the tests. This research has been conducted in the context of the INRIA Hemera initiative.
-The second proposition presents the Snooze architecture and focus on the following aspects :
-* System set up scalability and resources consumption,
-* Self-healing capabilities.
-The deployment of Snooze were distributed over several sites of the Grid'5000 testbed.
-The framework has been able to start 11000 of system services, recover thousands of failures
-and used to launch large hadoop/mapreduce experiments.
-This research has been conducted in the context of the INRIA Snooze ADT.
-=== Grid'5000 tutorial during ComPAS'2013 ===
-The [http://compas2013.inrialpes.fr/ ComPAS'2013 conference] (replacing RenPar, SympA and CFSE), to be held in Grenoble between January 15th and 18th, will feature a Grid'5000 tutorial.
