Scope and uncertainty

Partial public profile: processor and fabric follow the TOP500 submission. Node count, socket count, memory and on-node wiring are not assumed from the server model or benchmark core count. This entry describes the ranked system or partition, not every resource operated at this site. Per-node CPU/GPU counts, RAM and local links use NVIDIA DGX H100 platform specifications; operator-specific modifications are not published. Node specifications follow the documented NVIDIA DGX H100 platform (8U rackmount, 6 × 3.3 kW power supplies (4+2 redundant)); operator-specific deviations are not published.

Documented fields: 23 / 29

Every field this catalog checks. Fields listed above have a value; the remainder are shown here. A field marked absent is not publicly available in the sources we could verify, which does not mean the hardware is missing. Fields that cannot apply, such as benchmark results for an unranked system, are excluded from the total.
