Узел — базовая единица в data structure, например tree, graph или linked list. В разных computing contexts тот же термин может также обозначать unit of computation, например virtual machine within a cluster.
A single virtual machine (Compute Engine instance) within a cluster. In the context of Managed Training on reserved clusters, a node refers to an individual virtual machine (VM) that serves as a single unit of computation within your cluster. Think of it as one of the dedicated worker machines that runs a portion of your overall training job. Each node is equipped with specific resources like CPU, memory, and accelerators (for example, A3 or A4 GPUs), and they all work together in a coordinated way to handle large-scale, distributed training tasks.
