The RCE consists of multiple layers of servers:

• Login servers - For all desktop services, including launching jobs on the batch and interactive servers
• Batch servers - For large-scale parallel processing
• Interactive servers - For memory-intensive nonparallel processing

RCE Powered Applications use the interactive servers to run your memory-intensive research jobs, to isolate the login servers from the load these processes incur.

For information about how to use these resrouces, see Working with RCE Powered Statistical Applications.
