Data Transfer Nodes
The following systems are dedicated to (remote and local) file transfers:
Hostname | Hardware Node Type | CPU Codename | CPU Model | Clock Speed [GHz] | #Sockets | #Cores | Memory [GB] | SSD/ HDD size [GB] | Beginning of operation | Network Speed [Gbits/s] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Value "#Cores" means the physical cores (not Hyperthreading 'CPUs' reported in the OS system).
The data transfer nodes differ from the other login nodes in the following aspects:
- You cannot start remote desktop sessions with FastX
- Dedicated interactive programs like firefox or thunderbird are not installed
- The TSM software to archive files is installed exclusively on the data transfer node
- You cannot submit or manage batch jobs
