Arrhenius
Operated by NAISS at NAISS (Linkoping University) .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

The read
A EuroHPC mid-range system at Linkoping University, on the same GH200-plus-Slingshot-11 HPE Cray EX254n design as DAEDALUS in Greece: two national EuroHPC procurements a few months apart converging on identical hardware. Three distinct, precisely dated milestones exist for this system (contract signed July 2025, entered production June 2026, formally inaugurated September 2026); this dataset records the contract and production dates and leaves the later inauguration out of scope.

Site & facility
Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
| Cited source | Result | Found on the page |
|---|---|---|
| top500.org | names system and part | NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, NVIDIA Grace, HPE Slingshot-11, HPE Cray Operating System |
| eurohpc-ju.europa.eu | names system only | - |
