Update hardware-overview.md PROOFREAD 

line 3; did you want to include the size of the local hard drive?
line 5; 'fat nodes and virtual servers may access 45 TB etc.'  Try: '...can access up to 45...' or '... have access to 45...'

# Hardware Overview # Hardware Overview
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 5110P 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 64 GB 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 320 TB /home disk storage to store the user files. The 146 TB shared /scratch storage is available for the scratch data.

The Fat nodes are equipped with large amount (512 GB) 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.
