All ''general-purpose'' systems are similar with some differences in interconnect and the number of small memory, large memory and GPU nodes. Niagara is a different system and is designed for ''large parallel'' jobs.
A ''general-purpose'' cluster is designed to support a wide variety of types of jobs, and is composed of a mixture of different nodes.  We broadly classify the nodes as:
* ''base'' nodes, containing typically about 4GB of memory per core;
* ''large-memory'' nodes, containing typically more than 8GB memory per core;
* ''GPU'' nodes, which contain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit graphic processing units].


===Types of compute clusters===
<!--T:17-->
The ''large parallel'' cluster [[Niagara]] is designed to support multi-node parallel jobs requiring more than 1000 CPU cores, although jobs as small as a single node are also supported there.  Niagara is composed of nodes of a uniform design, with an interconnect optimized for large jobs.

Compute clusters

A general-purpose cluster is designed to support a wide variety of types of jobs, and is composed of a mixture of different nodes. We broadly classify the nodes as:

  • base nodes, containing typically about 4GB of memory per core;
  • large-memory nodes, containing typically more than 8GB memory per core;
  • GPU nodes, which contain graphic processing units.

The large parallel cluster Niagara is designed to support multi-node parallel jobs requiring more than 1000 CPU cores, although jobs as small as a single node are also supported there. Niagara is composed of nodes of a uniform design, with an interconnect optimized for large jobs.

All clusters have large, high-performance storage attached. For details about storage, memory, CPU model and count, GPU model and count, and the number of nodes at each site, please click on the cluster name in the table below.
