Bridges User Guide
System Configuration
Bridges contains login, database, web server and data transfer nodes in addition to its computational nodes. There are four types of computational nodes:
- Regular Shared Memory (RSM) nodes with 128GB RAM each.
- Regular Shared Memory nodes with 128GB RAM and GPUs (RSM-GPU).
- Large Shared Memory (LSM) nodes with 3TB RAM each
- Extreme Shared Memory (ESM) nodes with 12TB RAM each
Bridges' computational nodes supply 1.3018 Pf/s and 274 TiB RAM. The Bridges system also includes more than 6PB of node-local storage and 10PB of shared storage in the Pylon file system.
