Alps Supercomputer Phase 2 is a large GPU cluster operated by ETH Domain, located in Switzerland, in the public sector. It came online around September 2024. At that moment it ranked number 10 among known clusters.

It is built on 10,752 NVIDIA GH200. That amounts to about 10.8K H100e of AI compute. The cluster draws roughly 11.91 MW. Its hardware is estimated at $119M.

Epoch AI rates the certainty of this record as confirmed. Total number of sockets = 10,752 There are other portions of this supercomputer, but it is unclear which are in which location, as they are distributed. The 10k Grace Hopper GPUs is by far the largest and most significant portion, though
