- array job limit box added, missing max number ob jobs that can be submitted at same time , do you know this @rkronberg ?
- tried to merge HPC box with terminology overview and moved some terminology away from here
- added link to docs in partition question box
- thinking if some info on job-process-task is needed, but don't know how much of it to put here. Any thoughts?
- exception added to interactive job limits; is this correct now?

You mean a picture of a computer architecture? |
Yes, with compute nodes, storage etc. May-be easiest to add to your picture that some compute nodes are CPU and some GPU. OR then leave it for now, not critical. |
|
Picture, yes, can check later if there is time to find a nice one. Juha suggested this: https://github.com/jlento/presentations/blob/master/_slides/CSCSupercomputers/SupercomputerArchitecture.svg which I could maybe adapt a bit and use. |

@samumantha to see how many jobs can be submitted at the same time, run So on Puhti you can have at most 400 jobs submitted ( |

| The term **HPC system** is a stand-alone resource for computationally intensive workloads. | ||
| They are typically comprised of a multitude of integrated processing and | ||
| storage elements, designed to handle high volumes of data and/or large numbers of floating-point | ||
| operations ([FLOPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS)) with the highest possible performance. | ||

| **Node** | ||
| You can roughly think that one **node** is a single computer. | ||

Supercomputer is for computationally intensive workloads with the highest possible performance, designed to handle big volumes of data. It typically includes computational devices, networking devices and storage devices.
To support these constraints, a supercomputer must exist in a specific, fixed location: networking cables can only stretch so far, and electrical and optical signals can travel only so fast.

Sorry this went wrong now, but I would replace rows 9-15 and 27 with this.

Let me think about this for a moment. Will send another PR with an update regarding this text later. So we can merge this one for now.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Let's merge for now and get back to some rewording in new PR. |
