The Anselm cluster consists of 209 computational nodes named cn[1-209] of which 180 are regular compute nodes, 23 GPU Kepler K20 accelerated nodes, 4 MIC Xeon Phi 5110 accelerated nodes and 2 fat nodes. Each node is a  powerful x86-64 computer, equipped with 16 cores (two eight-core Intel Sandy Bridge processors), at least 64GB RAM, and local hard drive. The user access to the Anselm cluster is provided by two login nodes login[1,2]. The nodes are interlinked by high speed InfiniBand and Ethernet networks. All nodes share 320TB /home disk storage to store the user files. The 146TB shared /scratch storage is available for the scratch data.

The Fat nodes are equipped with large amount (512GB) of memory. Virtualization infrastructure provides resources to run long term servers and services in virtual mode. Fat nodes and virtual servers may access 45 TB of dedicated block storage. Accelerated nodes, fat nodes, and virtualization infrastructure are available [upon request](https://support.it4i.cz/rt) made by a PI.

All nodes share 360TB /home disk storage to store user files. The 146TB shared /scratch storage is available for the scratch data. These file systems are provided by Lustre parallel file system. There is also local disk storage available on all compute nodes /lscratch.  [More about Storage](storage/).
