Supply Chain
Not yet available
Power capacity, hardware inventory, upstream suppliers, and downstream customers for the row owned by University of Galway; any BIS Entity List exposure is walked through the canonical org graph rather than asserted at the facility row.
Capacity, ownership chain, and supply-chain position for CASPIr (Computational Analysis and Simulation Platform for Ireland), including any export-control exposure that surfaces when the BIS Entity List touches a node above the facility in the chain.
As of 2026-07-18
Operator (or owner of record) per the Scrutica facility row.
Ownership chain not yet documented in the available data (licensed corporate-ownership database, licensed supply-chain database, SEC filings, LEI registry; as of 2026-07-18). The chain may extend further once additional ingestion runs complete; absence here reflects coverage at this snapshot, not a documented apex.
Description
Ireland's mid-range EuroHPC national supercomputer, to be hosted at the University of Galway and operated by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC). Hosting agreement between the EuroHPC JU and the University of Galway signed 2025-10-13; invitation to tender launched 2026-03-27 under a competitive-dialogue procedure (deadline to request participation 2026-05-05). Total acquisition budget up to EUR 25 million, co-financed 35% EuroHPC JU (Digital Europe Programme) / 65% Ireland (national funds). Co-owned by the University of Galway (on behalf of the Irish Government) and the EuroHPC JU pro rata to their financial contributions (65% / 35%). Performance target 'over 15 petaflops' (precision/benchmark unspecified in source). Data-centric architecture: tiered multi-petabyte storage connected to standard CPU nodes, accelerated GPU nodes, high-memory nodes, and a private cloud gateway; explicitly NOT an AI-Factory-class system — ICHEC states it 'will not have sufficient capability for large-scale AI workloads' (lower GPU density per node, lower memory per GPU). National service opening estimated Q3 2027, subject to change.

Notes
STAGED — NOT YET INGESTED (Task #40 staging pass, 2026-07-18). PER-FIELD SOURCE ATTRIBUTION: tender launch (2026-03-27 release date), participation deadline '05-05-2026, 12:00 IST', 'over 15 petaflops', EUR 25 million budget co-financed 'by the EuroHPC JU (35%)... and by Ireland (65%) through national funds', 'CASPIr will be jointly owned by the University of Galway and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and operated by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC)' (verbatim), and the October-2025 hosting-agreement reference are all in the EuroHPC JU tender press release at source_url (tier 1, fetched 2026-07-18). The exact hosting-agreement date (announced_date 2025-10-13) is from ICHEC's own page https://www.ichec.ie/caspir-hosting-agreement ('13 October 2025', tier 1, fetched 2026-07-18). The pro-rata ownership percentages, Q3-2027 service estimate ('Current estimates indicate that the service will open in Q3 2027, subject to change depending on supply chains and completion of site adaptation at the hosting data centre'), architecture-class description, and the not-an-AI-Factory statement are from ICHEC's procurement-launch page https://www.ichec.ie/news/caspir-procurement-launched (tier 1, operator, fetched 2026-07-18): 'CASPIr will be co-owned by the University of Galway (on behalf of the Irish Government) and the EuroHPC JU, pro rata to their financial contributions (65% and 35% respectively).' OWNERSHIP MODELLING NOTE: owner_org_id = org-university-of-galway (existing org row) because the primary sources explicitly state majority (65%) UoG ownership — this deliberately diverges from the uniform owner=org-eurohpc-ju pattern on the 12 existing fac-eurohpc-* rows, which reflects systems the JU procured and owns outright; CASPIr's explicit pro-rata co-ownership is a different legal arrangement and recording the majority owner is the accurate choice. The JU's 35% co-ownership stake is documented here and in description. expected_operational_date null (Q3 2027 is quarter-precision + 'subject to change'). All hardware fields null: procurement in competitive dialogue; chip/node counts undisclosed. peak_pflops_fp16 null because the '>15 petaflops' target does not specify FP precision — figure carried in description only. Org enrichment staged separately: org-university-of-galway country_hq -> IE; org-ichec country_hq -> IE, website. [sovereign-staged-2026-07-18]

No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-07-18. Cascade closures evaluated: 0.
No ownership-change events documented in the available data for any entity in this chain over the last 5 years. Events draw from a licensed corporate-ownership database’s deal records (M&A, buyout, divestiture, asset sale, JV formation); coverage is strongest for private US/EU transactions and partial for state-owned-enterprise restructurings or non-Western private deals. Subsequent ingestion runs may add events here.
No documented sovereign or state-linked LP investment touches any entity in this chain. The licensed fund/LP database’s LP-disclosure rate is partial; absence of evidence here is not evidence of absence.
The walk for CASPIr (Computational Analysis and Simulation Platform for Ireland)starts at the operator org id (or owner org id when no operator is recorded) and climbs upward through the unified affiliate graph, normalized to trace child-to-parent relationships. At each hop, the highest-authority parent edge wins (priority ordering: SEC EDGAR / 10-K / LEI registry > licensed corporate-ownership database > licensed supply-chain database > BIS / Federal Register > licensed affiliate graph). Confidence and recency break ties.
The walk terminates on (a) a node with a public-filing-grade ancestor edge — a SEC filer, an LEI-registered listed entity, or a 10-K-disclosed parent — (b) a government entity, (c) a 10-hop limit, or (d) a detected cycle. When termination is not at a public filer or government, the panel labels the chain's end-state as opaque beyond that point. Opacity is reported, never implied.
Per-source confidence (licensed corporate-ownership database): HIGH for Parent / Subsidiary edges; MEDIUM for JV and AFFILIATE edges. Known limitations: (1) shell companies with undisclosed principals terminate the public-record walk; (2) recent transactions reach the panel after the database's weekly refresh; (3) cross-jurisdiction private holding structures may carry intermediate hops that are not in any ingested source. Each row carries an edge-level as of date so freshness is auditable per hop.
Two further caveats are inherent to how the walker and the underlying data compose. The walker selects a single highest-authority parent per hop, so JV or multi-parent ownership structures collapse to one displayed path; alternate parents exist in the ingested sources but are not surfaced on this card. And some licensed-database edges encode parent-of relations against entity-resolved stub IDs whose display name reflects a sub-entity (a business unit, an acquired-then-renamed line) rather than the canonical parent — when a chain reads structurally surprising, the per-row source citation is the authoritative reference, not the chain's narrative shape.
Computed at: 2026-07-18. Walk depth observed: 1 hop. Sources combined: Scrutica facility record + licensed corporate-ownership database + SEC CIK cross-reference + LEI registry + (where applicable) licensed supply-chain database + Federal Register designation closures. The licensed databases are held under subscription and not redistributed; per-hop labels name no vendor.
