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

On Grid'5000 platform the reservation of computing nodes and scheduling of batch jobs is managed by the OAR software suite, while IOPS is only supporting Slurm as a batch scheduler. Thankfully, the high level of similarity between OAR and Slurm (at least from a user perspective) makes it easy to run IOPS on Grid'5000 front-end with OAR being used to schedule & control the test jobs on the computing nodes. Let’s see how…
