Most 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.

There are a few legacy clusters equipped with accelerators such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing_on_graphics_processing_units GPUs] and Intel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi Xeon Phis]. You will find them on the following legacy systems:
There is one legacy cluster equipped with accelerators such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing_on_graphics_processing_units GPUs]. You will find them on the following legacy system:
* Helios, hosted by Calcul Québec
* Helios, hosted by Calcul Québec and equipped with NVidia GPUs.
* Accelerator Research Cluster, hosted by SciNet
All of these have NVidia GPUs.
