I want to see the output of “top”

Unfortunately you would be disappointed. top is only going to display what's running on your current node, not the whole machine. There is probably some sort of global top, but just logging in and running top in your shell will only run top on the head node. That head node might still be beefy, but only as beefy as a large shared memory machine can be.
Why not just fork a child top for each node?
