IREN · Childress “Horizon 1” — GPU Floor Map

About this map

IREN is building a large GB300 AI cluster at its Childress, Texas campus. One Horizon is three data halls; this is Horizon 1 = halls 011, 012, 013.

Top-down view straight from the fabric's rack addressing: each hall is 11 aisles (rows) × 8 GPU positions. Each tile is a GB300 NVL72 rack (72 GPUs), sitting at positions 05–12 with network/switch racks at the aisle ends. Each pod (SU) spans 2 adjacent aisles (half-pods, 1). Colour = cabling-validation status.

Built entirely from publicly observable network data — no private access. Rows in halls 012/013 carry a documented +2 label offset (in the source), normalised here to the clean hall-011 pattern.

Reading the internal names

Pods = SU1…SU18. Racks = RCK-<hall>-<row>-<pos> — e.g. RCK-011-04-05 = hall 011, row 4, position 5. Hover any GPU rack for its ID + switches.

Switches: SU3-EW-SP-1-1 → pod SU3, EW = East-West InfiniBand GPU fabric (NS = North-South Ethernet); SP = spine, LF = leaf, CN = core-node; then group + index. OOB = out-of-band management (OOB-GPU-LF = 2 per GPU rack).

GPU rack, pod validated pod still validating rack needs a fix network / switch rack (aisle ends)

How far along is the build?
