+This documentation shows basic Slurm configuration and options needed to run jobs in the Merlin7 cluster.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+### Hardware
+
+  * 2 CPU-only login nodes
+  * 77 CPU-only compute nodes
+  * 5 GPU A100 nodes
+  * 8 GPU Grace Hopper nodes
+
+The specification of the node types is:
+
+| Node           | #Nodes | CPU                                                               | RAM                        | GRES                 |
+| ----:          | ------ | ---                                                               | ---                        | ----                 |
+| Login Nodes    |      2 | _2x_ AMD EPYC 7742 (x86_64 Rome, 64 Cores, 2.25GHz)               | 512GB DDR4 3200Mhz         |                      |
+| CPU Nodes      |     77 | _2x_ AMD EPYC 7742 (x86_64 Rome, 64 Cores, 2.25GHz)               | 512GB DDR4 3200Mhz         |                      |
+| A100 GPU Nodes |      5 | _2x_ AMD EPYC 7713 (x86_64 Milan, 64 Cores, 3.2GHz)               | 512GB DDR4 3200Mhz         | 4 x NV_A100 (80GB)   |
+| GH   GPU Nodes |      3 | _2x_ NVidia Grace Neoverse-V2 (SBSA ARM 64bit, 144 Cores, 3.1GHz) | _2x_ 480GB DDR5X (CPU+GPU) | 4 x NV_GH200 (120GB) |
+
+### Network
+
+The Merlin7 cluster builds on top of HPE/Cray technologies, including a high-performance network fabric called Slingshot. This network fabric is able
+to provide up to 200 Gbit/s throughput between nodes. Further information on Slignshot can be found on at [HPE](https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/PSN1012904596HREN) and
+at <https://www.glennklockwood.com/garden/slingshot>.
+
+Through software interfaces like [libFabric](https://ofiwg.github.io/libfabric/) (which available on Merlin7), application can leverage the network seamlessly.
+
+### Storage
+
+Unlike previous iteration of the Merlin HPC clusters, Merlin7 _does not_ have any local storage. Instead storage for the entire cluster is provided through
+a dedicated storage appliance from HPE/Cray called [ClusterStor](https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/PSN1012842049INEN.pdf).
+
+The appliance is built of several storage servers:
+
+* 2 management nodes
+* 2 MDS servers, 12 drives per server, 2.9TiB (Raid10)
+* 8 OSS-D servers, 106 drives per server, 14.5 T.B HDDs (Gridraid / Raid6)
+* 4 OSS-F servers, 12 drives per server 7TiB SSDs (Raid10)
+
+With effective storage capacity of:
+
+* 10 PB HDD
+  * value visible on linux: HDD 9302.4 TiB
+* 162 TB SSD
+  * value visible on linux: SSD 151.6 TiB
+* 23.6 TiB on Metadata
+
+The storage is directly connected to the cluster (and each individual node) through the Slingshot NIC.
