Artemis is made up of a number of components, including the login nodes, compute nodes, storage system, and management nodes. The compute nodes, Lustre storage and management nodes are all connected by a high performance, low-latency “interconnect” based on Mellanox InfiniBand (IB) , which is a proprietary networking infrastructureinterconnect. There is also a 10 Gbps Ethernet management network interconnecting the compute, login and management nodes for compute node and batch job management.

Artemis has 56 “Standard” Haswell compute nodes and 80 “Standard” Broadwell compute nodes based on dual socket servers.
