Daint consists of around 800-1000 [Grace-Hopper nodes][ref-alps-gh200-node].

The number of nodes can vary as nodes are added or removed from other clusters on Alps.

There are four login nodes, `daint-ln00[1-4]`.
You will be assigned to one of the four login nodes when you ssh onto the system, from where you can edit files, compile applications and launch batch jobs.
