To make the User Guide more accessible, we have tried to explain key terms in a non-technical way. When reading the User Guide pages, please keep in mind the following:
- A core is the basic computation unit of a multiprocessor CPU.
- A node is a single machine with memory, cores, operating system and network connection.
- A partition is a collection of nodes with similar technical specifications (memory, cores, and so on).
- The cluster is the complete collection of nodes with networking and file storage facilities.
See the Glossary for more definitions of technical terms used in the User Guide.
