All nodes are dual-socket (4 cores/CPU, 8 cores/node).
Compute time on gen1 nodes is charged at a 50% discount of walltime. Depending on cores used and memory throughput demanded, these nodes may actually be about on par with gen2 (low memory throughput) or up to about 2–3 times slower.

Lustre parallel file system
42 TB effective (84 TB raw RAID-10)
2 NexSAN SATAbeast
160–250 GB local disk per compute node
NFS
- for user applications and cluster management
- highly-available server based on DRBD
