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 InfiniBand (IB) interconnect. 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 Haswell compute nodes and 80 Broadwell a mix of Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake compute nodes based on dual socket servers.
