This provides us with the ability to directly logon to the compute nodes if something goes wrong whilst avoiding unnecessary cost and using up space. Two of the compute nodes are dual processors so that we can compare their performance to the single processor systems. Apart from the obvious differences all nodes are configured the same. The total swap size was chosen based on the amount of memory on the dual processor nodes. The following information is available on the system performance.
