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 and the newest **Merlin6**.
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**](/merlin6/interactive.html),
which can be accessed through the [SSH protocol](/merlin6/interactive.html#ssh-access) or the [NoMachine (NX) service](/merlin6/nomachine.html).
The following image shows the Slurm architecture design for the Merlin5 & Merlin6 (CPU & GPU) clusters:
