It has 4300 Bullx Series S servers ('Mesca'), 140,000 Intel Xeon 7500 processor cores, and 300 TB of memory. The Interconnect is QDR InfiniBand. The file system has a throughput of 500 GB/s and total storage of 20 PB. [1] It uses the SLURM resource manager for scheduling batch jobs.[2]

Tera 100 uses Bull XBAS Linux, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux derivative.[2]
