Finis Terrae II

Also known as FT2; CESGA FinisTerrae II

Operated by CESGA at CESGA (Santiago de Compostela) .

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: 1263 of 1345 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 56 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

The Galician Supercomputing Centre's second Finis Terrae system, installed in 2015 and in production in 2016: Bull (Atos) bullx equipment in 8 racks with 320 nodes and 7,712 Intel Xeon E5 Haswell cores on Mellanox InfiniBand FDR, 44,544 GB of memory and about 750 TB of Lustre storage. CESGA quotes 328,272 GFlop/s peak and 213,000 GFlop/s sustained on Linpack. The Spanish science ministry's August 2016 announcement of the infrastructure renewal (5.2 million euros) adds eight NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPUs and over 20 GB/s of storage throughput. The page does not give a retirement date; FinisTerrae III is recorded separately, and the status date is the last confirmation.

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
