NIPA(NHN Cloud)-CL-1
NIPA-CL1 is a 510-node NVIDIA B200 cluster that NHN Cloud built and operates under Korea's MSIT national GPU programme, giving national AI projects, industry, academia and research institutes government-led AI compute.
What it runs and how to get time
From the operator- Used for What the operator says the system is used for: science domains, missions or workloads. Taken from the operator, its funder or the system vendor, not from TOP500.
- National AI projects such as the Independent AI Foundation Model Project, plus AI research and service development by Korean industry, academia and research institutes. 4
- How to get time How researchers or customers get time on the system, naming the allocation programme where the operator states one.
- Government-allocated: users apply via an MSIT online platform and are chosen by evaluation; idle GPUs go to standby users, at low cost to industry-academia-research. 4
- Cooling Cooling design stated by the operator or supplier.
- 100% liquid cooling for high-density GPU racks of 75 kW each. 3
- Facility Building, data centre or campus that houses the system, as described by the operator.
- NHN FactoryX Seoul AI data centre, Seoul, South Korea. 3
Benchmark and hardware
Source per value- Rank Position in the TOP500 edition named in the Edition column. Historic systems keep the rank of the edition where they last appeared.
- 20 1
- Rmax PFLOP/s Measured double-precision LINPACK (HPL) performance of the listed configuration. Older TFLOP/s and GFLOP/s figures are converted to PFLOP/s.
- 137.4 1
- Rpeak PFLOP/s Theoretical peak double-precision performance of the listed configuration. This is not AI or mixed-precision throughput.
- 156.48 1
- HPL efficiency % Rmax divided by Rpeak: the share of theoretical peak the system delivered on LINPACK. Computed from the two sourced figures.
- 87.8 1
- Site Host or operator named by TOP500 for the installation.
- NHN Cloud 1
- Country Country or region reported by TOP500 for the site.
- South Korea 1
- Region World region of the installation country (grouping applied by this site).
- Asia-Pacific 1
- Vendor Manufacturer or system supplier exactly as submitted to TOP500.
- HPE 1
- Vendor group Supplier grouped for filtering. Bull is the Eviden/Atos line; Other covers single-system suppliers.
