  • Panoram'IA: Appointment Friday 15/11 at 10 am

IDRIS support invites you this Friday morning 15/11 at 10 am to "Panoram'IA": the monthly live video magazine that covers the scientific and technical news of AI. This session's programme includes: AI news, an expert intervention: "QROA: The art and science of jailbreaking LLMs" and our selection of papers with Papers Storm. The live stream and replays are available on our YouTube channel "Un oeil sur l'IDRIS": https://www.youtube.com/@idriscnrs.

  • DSDIR not accessible from the H100 partition

We would like to remind you that the DSDIR space, where we store public datasets and models useful to the community (http://www.idris.fr/jean-zay/gpu/jean-zay-gpu-dataset.html), is currently not accessible from the new H100 partition of Jean Zay. Equipment is currently being installed to enable its migration to a new Lustre-based storage system that will be accessible from all partitions. This new space should be operational by the end of 2024. In the meantime, if you need to use a dataset or model available in the DSDIR from an H100 node, we recommend copying it to your SCRATCH.

  • Shutdown of the old STORE space at the end of November 2024

Following the migration of the STORE space to a new Lustre-based storage system during the summer, the old STORE space remained accessible in read-only mode using the environment variable "$OLDSTORE" (http://www.idris.fr/jean-zay/modifications-extension-jean-zay-h100.html#cas_particulier_du_store). The definitive shutdown of this space will take place at the end of November 2024.
