So we have about 8 TFLOPS across all the standard nodes.)
  
 But, if you put a memory access intensive job on all cores they will likely run slower than you expect: the processors have 4 memory channels each, so with all 8 cores in use the jobs may start competing for memory access. If, on the other hand, the jobs spend some time waiting for external data access (disk reads) to complete, there may be no overall slow-down. But, if you put a memory access intensive job on all cores they will likely run slower than you expect: the processors have 4 memory channels each, so with all 8 cores in use the jobs may start competing for memory access.
