Artemis (Sydney)
Also known as Artemis HPC
Operated by University of Sydney .
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
The University of Sydney's central HPC cluster, launched in 2015 with 1,512 cores and enlarged twice since. Artemis 3, bought in November 2017 and installed by the end of January 2018, added 49 Dell PowerEdge C6420 CPU nodes (2,352 cores, 9 TB of memory) and 27 PowerEdge C4140 nodes carrying four NVIDIA Tesla V100 each, 108 GPUs in all, plus 700 TB of Lustre storage; the A$2.3 million expansion was driven by the university's new AI centre. Computerworld and iTnews agree on these figures. A 2025 arXiv survey of Australian institutional computing lists Artemis at 7,588 cores across 195 nodes of three hardware generations and 108 V100 GPUs, which is the source of the core count here. Computerworld's wording of the 1 petaflop figure is ambiguous between peak and measured performance, so no FLOPS value is recorded.

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.
