    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).
