DN nodes¶
We have 70 IBM System X iDataPlex dx360 M3 Server nodes, these nodes are not restricted to any user group and as a result perform a diverse range of workloads. Although these are busy nodes, the wait times are usually short due to the large overall number of cores provided by these nodes.
| DN | IBM System X iDataPlex dx360 M3 |

| Interconnect | 10Gb Ethernet |
Notes¶
These are our oldest nodes and do not support AVX/AVX2 processor extensions. If
your code requires these specific extensions, adding -l avx2 to your job
script will ensure that the job avoids using these nodes.
