SMP	Symmetric multiprocessing. A system with two or more CPUs that share equal (symmetric) access
	to all of the facilities of a computer system, such as the memory and I/O subsystems. In an HP
	XC system, the use of SMP technology increases the number of CPUs (amount of computational
	power) available per unit of space.
ssh	Secure Shell. A shell program for logging in to and executing commands on a remote computer.
	It can provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure
	network.
standard LSF	A workload manager for any kind of batch job. Standard LSF features comprehensive workload
	management policies in addition to simple first-come, first-serve scheduling (fairshare, preemption,
	backfill, advance reservation, service-level agreement, and so on). Standard LSF is suited for jobs
	that do not have complex parallel computational needs and is ideal for processing serial,
	single-process jobs. Standard LSF is not integrated with SLURM.
symmetric	See SMP.
