Moordiup
Also known as Woodside Moordiup seismic cluster
Operated by Woodside Energy .
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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Xeon E5-2670 CPUs x86-64 · 8C · 2.6 GHz · 32 nm · 115 W 110 x Intel Xeon E5-2670 (880 cores) in 55 nodes | Intel | 110 reported | Reported | itnews.com.au |
The read
Woodside Energy's first named in-house HPC cluster (Moordiup is an Aboriginal word meaning fast), built in 2013 for about 500,000 AUD: 55 nodes with 110 Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors (880 cores), first used to test full waveform inversion on seismic data. iTnews reports a target of about 0.118 PFlop/s once accelerators (most likely NVIDIA Tesla GPUs) were added to each node, with a possible petascale build by about 2015; that is a forward-looking target rather than a measured or vendor-rated figure, so no FLOPS field is filled. Woodside's own story page and HPCwire's 2013 report describe the same system but returned 403 errors, so only iTnews is cited. Current status of this specific cluster is not documented; status_as_of is the 2013 report date.

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.
None of the cited sources could be read from our network: the hosts returned bot challenges or did not respond. This check says nothing about the citations either way. See how this check works.
