Opera Iceland KEF-1 SuperPOD

Also known as Opera KEF-1

Operated by Opera at atNorth ICE02, Keflavik .

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.

AI datacenter metrics

Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.

Metric	Value	As of	Basis	Note	Source
Facility power	83 MW	2026-10	Operator stated	atNorth lists 83 MW campus power capacity for ICE02 Keflavik, the host site of the Opera cluster. Host campus, not the Opera cluster draw.	atnorth.com
PUE	1.2	2026-10	Design target	atNorth ICE02 page lists PUE of 1.2 or lower for the host data center. Stated design rating, not a measured year figure; host campus.	atnorth.com
Rack power	40 kW	2026-10	Design target	atNorth ICE02: average rack density of 40 kW supported, 100+ kW liquid-cooled racks possible. Host facility capability, not Opera racks.	atnorth.com

The read

Iceland's only TOP500 entry: an NVIDIA DGX H100 SuperPOD that Opera deployed at atNorth's ICE02 data center in Keflavik to train and run its Aria browser AI features on hydroelectric and geothermal power. TOP500 lists Xeon Platinum 8480C hosts, H100 80GB accelerators and NDR400 InfiniBand, debuting at rank 88 on the June 2024 list; Opera's own release confirms the deployment, location and H100 hardware but not the precise Rmax/Rpeak figures, so those numbers rest on TOP500 alone.

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
press.opera.com	names system and part	NVIDIA H100 SXM5
top500.org	names system and part	Intel Xeon Platinum 8480C, NVIDIA H100 SXM5, NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR (Quantum-2)
