The post explains how to fix a potential network problem when using a CI template. It is based on a true story after creating an Ubuntu 24.04 template and using it.

WSL2 stands for Windows Subsytem for Linux, version It lets one use a Linux environment on a Windows machine without the burden of using double boot or explicit virtual machine setup.

This document explains how to migrate from GitLab to Github including git history, issues, milestones, labels and merge requests as well as github pages and using GitHub workflow actions to be used instead of Jenkins or GitLab runners. Here are the steps that need to be followed respectively.

Preliminary note: this note applies to a simple git repository. For a gitlab repository, please refer to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.html. gitlab (and possibly other forges based on git) tends to be protective, in order to keep track of the events in the repository and to prevent discrepancy on its data. By example, a merge request will create references pointing to the branches used when the MR was initiated; these references are not updated by the process described below, since they are internal to gitlab, meaning the git gc will not try to reclaim the git objects used by these branches.

Profiling a program consists in dynamically collecting measures during the program execution : which functions or pieces of code are executed, how many times, the duration of an execution, the call tree, …

During early summer 2020, we benchmarked recent GPU models available on Nef cluster for deep-learning using ResNet-50 model training, with ImageNet 2021 dataset and TensorFlow 2.0 official implementation. Please find here a summary of the results and lessons learnt.

Ecological impact of IT is an increasingly important matter. This is why estimating the impact of a computation is useful, both for assessing the cost of a research activity or designing efficient methods. Power consumption and carbon emissions of a computation are commonly used metrics, as this is a more simple approximation than taking into account the full life cycle of IT infrastructures.
