 *The Family field contains the widely-used code name for the model of Intel Xeon server chips found in each Unity node. These arbitrary names and their corresponding features and date-of-introduction are described in the Wikipedia article "Xeon". 

Currently, the oldest Unity nodes are "Westmere" and the newest "Cascade Lake". Newer nodes are generally faster, but more in demand. The "Features" field contains the widely used code names for the vector arithmetic capabilities available on each Unity node. Successive Xeon models process more information per computer cycle, improving performance; the details are in the Wikipedia article "Advanced Vector Extensions". In increasing order of performance, we have SSE_4.2 < AVX < AVX2 < AVX512. Check the "man" pages for your compiler to learn how to request these features be used in your compiled programs. The features are upward-compatible, so a program compiled "AVX" will run on an "AVX512" system, but not the opposite.
