Scope and uncertainty
Korea's national AI computing portal, run by NIPA, publishes the per-server configuration for this cluster: up to eight B200 accelerators, a 72-core CPU complement and 2,304 GB of memory per server, with up to 400 Gb/s InfiniBand between servers. NHN states the cluster comprises 255 nodes and 2,040 B200 GPUs. It publishes no per-node CPU, memory or adapter detail; accelerators per node follow the documented HPE ProLiant XD685 chassis. Node specifications follow the documented HPE ProLiant Compute XD685 platform (5U direct-liquid-cooled or 6U air-cooled chassis, two sockets, eight accelerators); operator-specific deviations are not published.
Documented fields: 15 / 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.
