Introduction 
============

  

Welcome to Anselm supercomputer cluster. The Anselm cluster consists of
209 compute nodes, totaling 3344 compute cores with 15TB RAM and giving
over 94 Tflop/s theoretical peak performance. Each node is a 
powerful x86-64 computer, equipped with 16
cores, at least 64GB RAM, and 500GB harddrive. 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.html).

The cluster runs bullx Linux [
](http://www.bull.com/bullx-logiciels/systeme-exploitation.html)[operating
system](software/operating-system.html), which is
compatible with the  RedHat [
Linux
family.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg)
We have installed a wide range of
[software](software.1.html) packages targeted at
different scientific domains. These packages are accessible via the
[modules environment](environment-and-modules.html).

User data shared file-system (HOME, 320TB) and job data shared
file-system (SCRATCH, 146TB) are available to users.

The PBS Professional workload manager provides [computing resources
allocations and job
execution](resource-allocation-and-job-execution.html).
