Editing HPC Terminology (section)

== Node Types ==
Please be aware that not all HPC clusters utilize login nodes. The following section describes node types commonly found in HPC clusters.

=== Login Nodes ===
Login nodes serve as the entry point for users to access the HPC cluster. Typically, only your home directory will be mounted on the login nodes. It is important to note that other storage data, such as network mounts for <code>/data/</code> and <code>/compute/</code>, may be available exclusively on the compute nodes.

Not all clusters have this type of node. For more detailed information about the storage and accessibility of specific data directories in your cluster, please refer to your cluster's dedicated page in the [[:Category:Clusters| Cluster's]] section.

=== Compute Nodes ===

The cluster includes dedicated GPU nodes that offer accelerated computing capabilities. These GPU nodes are equipped with high-performance GPUs, providing significant computational power for GPU-intensive workloads.

==== GPU Types ====

The GPU nodes feature a range of GPU types, ensuring compatibility with diverse computational needs. The specific GPU models available on the cluster may vary over time as the cluster hardware is upgraded.

==== RAM ====

The GPU nodes in the cluster are equipped with generous amounts of RAM to support memory-intensive applications.

==== CPU ====

In addition to GPUs, the GPU nodes in the cluster also incorporate powerful CPUs to complement the computational capabilities. The CPUs provide the necessary processing power to handle non-GPU tasks and assist in managing parallel computations effectively.
