Facts
Source per value- Owner / operator Organization that owns or operates the GPUs. Hosting and facility roles are listed under Partners.
- CINES 1
- GPU maker NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, taken from the GPU model.
- AMD 1
- GPU model Accelerator model or family as disclosed. A GH200 is one GPU on a superchip; an MI300A is an APU that contains a GPU.
- AMD Instinct MI250X 1
- GPUs installed Physical GPUs in the cluster, from the operator or a deterministic sum of disclosed quantities (nodes × GPUs per node). Planned counts, H100-equivalents and unaudited press totals are never counted here.
