# Finding the names of your compute nodes

The hostnames of compute nodes usually follow a sequential order (e.g. node01, node02, node03… node10).

Users can find the names of their compute nodes by using the nodeattr command with a group; e.g.

nodeattr -s nodes
- shows a space-separated list of compute node hostnames with the gender "nodes"
nodeattr -c group
- shows a comma-separated list of compute node hostnames with the gender "group"
nodeattr -n groups
- shows a new-line-separated list of compute node hostnames with the gender "groups"

In order to make use of these commands you must already have created a gender and assigned nodes to it. The previous page covers how to do this.
