Data Transfer Nodes
Abbreviations:
- p.N. - per Node
- all CPU Codename are meant to be 'Intel', if not anything to the contrary
- Value '#Cores per Node' mean the physical cores (not Hyperthreading 'CPUs' reported in the OS system). By default the HyperThreading is OFF on our nodes; for those few with HT=ON remarks are posted here.
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] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The data transfer nodes differ from the other dialog systems 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
