Welcome to Anselm supercomputer cluster. The Anselm cluster consists of 209 compute nodes, totaling 3344 compute cores with 15 TB RAM and giving over 94 TFLOP/s theoretical peak performance. Each node is a powerful x86-64 computer, equipped with 16 cores, at least 64 GB RAM, and 500 GB hard disk drive. Nodes are interconnected by fully non-blocking fat-tree InfiniBand network and equipped with Intel Sandy Bridge processors. A few nodes are also equipped with NVIDIA Kepler GPU or Intel Xeon Phi MIC accelerators. Read more in [Hardware Overview](hardware-overview/).
