The architecture specifically tailored to data-intensive computing, Big Data
analytics, and artificial intelligence methods with extensive capabilities for performance monitoring provides ideal conditions to achieve the ambitious research goals of the users and the ZIH.
## Overview
From the users' pespective, there are seperate clusters:
-**Barnard** - CPU cluster (2023)
-**Romeo** - CPU cluster (2020)
-**Alpha Centauri** - GPU cluster (2021)
-**Julia** - single SMP system (2021)
-**ML** - IBM Power/GPU system (2018)
They run with their own Slurm batch system.
All clusters have access to these shared parallel file systems:
