Hexagon - in operation from 2008 to 2017
In operation from UiB operates supercomputer facilities that serve the high-end computational needs of scientists at Norwegain universities and other national research and industrial organizations.
Significant use of Hexagon has traditionally come from computational chemistry, computational physics, computational biology, the geosceinces and mathematics. The supercomputer machine Hexagon is installed at the High Technological Center in Bergen (HiB) and is managed and operated by UiB. Hexagon was upgraded from Cray XT4 in March 2012.

Gardar - in operation from 2012 to 2015
Gardar is an HP BladeCenter cluster consisting of one frontend (management, head) node, 2 login nodes and 288 compute nodes running Centos Linux managed by Rocks. Each node contains two Intel Xeon Processors with 24GB memory. The compute nodes are located in HP racks. Each HP rack contains three c7000 Blade enclosures where each enclosure contains 16 compute nodes.
Gardar has a separate strorage sysetm. The X9320 Network storage system is available to the entire cluster and uses the IBRIX Fusion software. The total usable storage of X9320 is 71.6TByte. The storage system is connected to the cluster with an Infiniband QDR network.
