| Free tier | The page states plainly that "The Grid'5000 Open-Access program is closed" and directs readers to the account page instead. Grid'5000 is an instrument of roughly 1,000 nodes across French sites plus the universities of Luxembourg and Louvain, used by reserving specific nodes interactively rather than by queueing jobs, and an account now requires justifying a use of the testbed "for its intended purposes" at a French site. unit none; metered on wall-clock; closed-programme |
