Historically, the local HPC clusters at PSI were named **Merlin**. Over the years,
multiple generations of Merlin have been deployed.
At present, the **Merlin local HPC cluster** contains _two_ generations of it:
* the old **Merlin5** cluster (`merlin5` Slurm cluster), and
* the newest generation **Merlin6**, which is divided in two Slurm clusters:
* `merlin6` as the Slurm CPU cluster
* `gmerlin6` as the Slurm GPU cluster.
Access to the different Slurm clusters is possible from the [**Merlin login nodes**](accessing-interactive-nodes.md),
which can be accessed through the [SSH protocol](accessing-interactive-nodes.md#ssh-access) or the [NoMachine (NX) service](../how-to-use-merlin/nomachine.md).

The Merlin6 **computing nodes** are mostly based on **CPU** resources. However,
it also contains a small amount of **GPU**-based resources, which are mostly used
