It's 4 nodes.

1 node = 8 processor Xeon.

FPGA cards would get double speed. So must be between 30Mhz and 60Mhz. They only
use development fpga cards. So never use the real power of fpga (which is
printing your own processor which can run hands down at 600Mhz or more). They
stick to development cards for some unknown reason to me.

CPU power is not interesting at all of course, cards do the work.
