No, an XC40 runs a kernel on each node, the programming model is MPI, not SSI with NUMA. It runs a minimalist Linux distro called CLE. The nodes are surprisingly small, in terms of memory too, 64 or 128G. Physically they are beautiful to look at, so clean, just a CPU and some memory and nothing extraneous. Cray really should do glass cases.
