Also known as Sigma2 Saga
Operated by Sigma2 at Sigma2 (Trondheim) .
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
Norway's national throughput HPC system, an HPE Apollo 2000/6500 Gen10 installed at NTNU in Trondheim and open to users from October 2019. Sigma2 documentation lists 364 nodes and 16,064 cores (200 nodes with 40 cores, 120 with 52 cores, 28 medium-, 8 big- and 2 huge-memory nodes), 8 GPU nodes with 4 P100 and 8 GPU nodes with 4 A100 each, 6.5 PB of BeeGFS scratch, and a stated peak of 645 TFLOPS (CPU) plus 150 TFLOPS (GPU) in double precision, entered here as 0.795 PFLOPS. The documentation's own GPU total reads 32, which does not match the node listing (16 nodes with 4 GPUs each), so no GPU quantities are 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.
