[[Béluga/en|Béluga]], [[Cedar]] and [[Graham]] are '''general purpose clusters''' composed of a variety of nodes including large memory nodes and nodes with accelerators.  You can log in to any of these using [[SSH]] and the same password you use at ccdb.computecanada.ca. A home directory will be automatically created for you the first time you log in.
