- 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.
- NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 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.
- Not published
- GPU count notes What the count covers (one partition, one site, a design limit), qualifiers and competing figures.
