All systems are connected by dual 10Gb ethernet cards, both to each other and to the NCI-F network, and by a 100Gb InfiniBand network between nodes.

Every user on any system has access to three NAS shares and one local partition:

  • /home/${user}
  • /scratch/cluster_scratch/${user}
  • /tmp or /scratch/local (two names for the same partition)
  • /mnt/nasapps (read-only)

Many other NAS shares are also mounted but are available only to specifically named users or groups.
