Headquarters evidence
Find these Simula companies and units at our Oslo headquarters:
Simula's own contact page uses explicit headquarters wording bound to Oslo: the section heading 'Simula Headquarters, Oslo at KA23' (address Kristian Augusts gate 23, 0164 Oslo) and the sentence 'Find these Simula companies and units at our Oslo headquarters:'. Norway is in Europe but outside the EU, hence 'European non-EU headquarters'. Found on a second pass after simula.no/about returned no HQ wording.
Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
Norway's experimental exascale-prep cluster: NVIDIA DGX-2 (16x V100, 2 PFLOPS tensor), an 8-way A100 80GB system, and a Graphcore IPU-POD of 64 Colossus Mk2 GC200 IPUs (>94,000 cores, 16 PFLOPS mixed precision). Consortium includes Sigma2, UiT, NTNU, UiB, OsloMet plus Graphcore, Dolphin and Numascale. Compute infrastructure only — Simula trains no public language models.
