Also known as LLNL Tenaya

Operated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at Livermore Computing Center .

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.

Measured performance

Rmax: 3.41 PFlop/s
Rpeak: 4.37 PFlop/s
Rmax ÷ Rpeak: 78.0%

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

An early-access system for El Capitan in Livermore's Secure Computing Facility: an HPE Cray EX cluster of AMD Trento CPUs and AMD Instinct MI250X GPUs on Slingshot-11 under TOSS 4 and the Flux scheduler. TOP500 lists 22,656 cores, Rmax 3.41 and Rpeak 4.37 PFlop/s, first appearing 200th in June 2022 and listed 391st in June 2026. LLNL's platform page gives 24 nodes (2 login, 22 debug), 1,536 CPU cores, 96 GPU devices at 8 per compute node, 4.368 PFlop/s combined peak, ATS-4/EA and CORAL-2 class under the ASC programme, commissioned 2022; the two sources agree on peak.

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
hpc.llnl.gov	names system and part	Tri-Lab Operating System Stack
top500.org	names system and part	AMD EPYC 7A53 (Trento), AMD Instinct MI250X, HPE Slingshot-11

Checked 2026-10-09 by pnpm verify. Re-run it and the table changes with the web.
