All servers of the cluster run on Oracle Linux 9. Oracle Linux (OL) is a Red Hat based open-source operating system.

The cluster's scheduler is the Slurm Workload Manager, developed by SchedMD. This software is crucial for HPC and helps achieve fair usage of all available compute resources.

The cluster and storage mounted on to the system are located in Saughfield House on the University of Glasgow Campus next to the Library.
