While an individual file transfers would not be able to achieve the full 40Gb/s speed, it will be significantly faster than using the 1Gb/s connection on the “ “įrom within the JHPCE cluster you can access the transfer node by qrsh-ing to the “rnet” queue. The “ ” node only has a 1 Gb/s network connection to the JHU network, whereas the “ ” node has a 40 Gb/s connection. The “ ” node is only meant to be used for logging into the cluster, and not transferring large files.
