Sophia (DTU)
Also known as DTU Sophia
Operated by Technical University of Denmark .
Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1581 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | - AMD EPYC 7351 16-core, 2 per node on 512 nodes | AMD | - | Verified | escience.sdu.dkdeic-frontoffice.dtu.dk |
The read
Shared Linux cluster at the Technical University of Denmark owned jointly by the DTU IT department, DTU Wind Energy and DTU Mechanical Engineering, whose representatives decide access by consensus (DTU's Sophia documentation, which also names CentOS and the OpenHPC stack). SDU's e-science page lists 512 nodes (480 slim with 128 GB, 32 fat with 256 GB), two 16-core AMD EPYC 7351 per node for 16,384 cores, 70 TB memory, 1 PB of distributed Ceph storage and 100 Gbit/s InfiniBand. The DEIC listing of national Type 2 throughput HPC, where DTU administers Sophia within a consortium of AU, DTU and KU, shows only the slice offered for national use (a 32-core, 128 GB node profile), adds a 30 TB BeeGFS burst buffer and notes the system is not GDPR-compliant. Installation date, vendor and peak FLOPS are not published on the pages read. DTU's older cluster is Niflheim (niflheim-dtu).
