This page gives an overview of the Grid.UP computers and details the various types of file systems, nodes, and system services available to end-users.
Grid.UP is a general purpose capability system and is designed to be a well balanced system, designed to handle tasks which require:
The set of node available to end-users comprises a large number of compute nodes, or “worker nodes”. We distinguish the following different node flavours:
The table below lists the current available node types.
