 Most [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/national-services/compute/ legacy clusters] are classified as either capacity clusters or capability clusters. ''Capacity clusters'' contain nodes connected to each other by a relatively slow Ethernet network, while the ''capability clusters'' have a fast network, usually InfiniBand. Large parallel jobs will run better on capability clusters than capacity clusters, while smaller jobs will run almost anywhere.
