This is develop/test system of four x86_64 self-hosted Intel Xeon Phi Knights Landing (KNL) nodes, aka a "Ninja" platform. Each node has one 64-core Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) CPU 7210 @ 1.30GHz with 4 threads per core. The node is interconnected to the rest of the clusters with QDR Infiniband and shares the regular SciNet GPFS filesystems.
Login
First login via ssh with your scinet account at login.scinet.utoronto.ca, and from there you can proceed to knl01,knl02,knl03,knl04.
