In order to update the network infrastructure, we have to shutdown the PlaFRIM infrastructure on February 10th from 12pm to 14pm.
All the jobs in progress at the time of the shutdown will be deleted.

Thank you for your understanding.

New compute nodes are now available (see https://www.plafrim.fr/hardware-documentation/):

• zonda[07-21]: 2 * AMD EPYC 7452 32-Core Processor and 256 GB RAM
• sirocco21: 2 * AMD EPYC 7402 24-Core Processor and 2 GPU Nvidia Ampere A100 and 512 Go RAM

To reserve them, use the constraints “zonda” or “a100”.

These machines have just been integrated, do not hesitate to contact us if you see improvements to be made or need further information.

Just a message to inform you that on sirocco[03-04] nodes, only 3 K40M GPU cards are now available instead of 4 initially because of a hardware problem on these nodes.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

New compute nodes are now available (see https://www.plafrim.fr/hardware-documentation/):

• bora [041-044] : 2 * Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6240 CPU and 192 GB RAM (identical to bora[001-040])
• zonda [01-06] : 2 * AMD EPYC 7452 32-Core Processor and 256 GB RAM
• sirocco [18-20] : 2 * Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5218R Processor and 2 Nvidia Quadro RTX8000 GPUs and 192 GB RAM

To reserve them, use the constraints “bora”, “zonda” or “rtx8000”.

The FAQ has been updated to describe all storage spaces available on PlaFRIM and the quota command to display their usage and limits.

All,

Users are now allowed to use the squeue command on the devel nodes
through sudo, to display information about all jobs.

sudo squeue

squeue is the only command for which information about all users will
be made available to all, as its information are not a breach to the
GPDR related constraints.

Cheers,

The PlaFRIM team

Standard nodes miriel[001-088] and K40M nodes sirocco[01-05] are in best effort and without support, and will be removed from the platform when failing to start.

All,

We are currently in a phase of compliance with the constraints related
to the GDPR; this limits in particular the access to the slurm database.
The tool squeue is impacted with this limitation. Users only see
information about their jobs when making queries (this is also the case
for all other slurm commands, scontrol, sacct...).

The sinfo command can still be used to get an overview of the platform
usage. The state of the nodes and a filtered output of the squeue
command are available on the platform web page
https://www.plafrim.fr/jobs-monitoring/

This page is currently being updated to report as much information as
possible to the users. We will keep working on it in the coming days and
weeks, to hopefully meet everyone's expectations.
