### Compute Node Summary
| Node type | Count | Range | Memory | Cores | Queues |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | ----------- | ------ | ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Nodes without an accelerator | 180 | cn[1-180] | 64GB | 16 @ 2.4GHz | qexp, qprod, qlong, qfree, qprace, qatlas |
| Nodes with a GPU accelerator | 23 | cn[181-203] | 96GB | 16 @ 2.3GHz | qnvidia, qexp |
| Nodes with a MIC accelerator | 4 | cn[204-207] | 96GB | 16 @ 2.3GHz | qmic, qexp |

## Processor Architecture
Anselm is equipped with Intel Sandy Bridge processors Intel Xeon E5-2665 (nodes without accelerators and fat nodes) and Intel Xeon E5-2470 (nodes with accelerators). The processors support Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 256-bit instruction set.
### Intel Sandy Bridge E5-2665 Processor
* eight-core
* speed: 2.4 GHz, up to 3.1 GHz using Turbo Boost Technology
* peak performance: 19.2 GFLOP/s per core
* caches:
* L2: 256 KB per core
* L3: 20 MB per processor
* memory bandwidth at the level of the processor: 51.2 GB/s
### Intel Sandy Bridge E5-2470 Processor
* eight-core
* speed: 2.3 GHz, up to 3.1 GHz using Turbo Boost Technology
* peak performance: 18.4 GFLOP/s per core
* caches:
* L2: 256 KB per core
* L3: 20 MB per processor
* memory bandwidth at the level of the processor: 38.4 GB/s
Nodes equipped with Intel Xeon E5-2665 CPU have a set PBS resource attribute cpu_freq = 24, nodes equipped with Intel Xeon E5-2470 CPU have set PBS resource attribute cpu_freq = 23.
```console
$ qsub -A OPEN-0-0 -q qprod -l select=4:ncpus=16:cpu_freq=24 -I
```
In this example, we allocate 4 nodes, 16 cores at 2.4GHhz per node.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is used by default, you can disable it for all nodes of job by using the cpu_turbo_boost resource attribute.
```console
$ qsub -A OPEN-0-0 -q qprod -l select=4:ncpus=16 -l cpu_turbo_boost=0 -I
```
