Land Acknowledgement#

ClusterMAX™ benchmark testing is conducted across datacenters spanning many continents, on the ancestral and contemporary homelands of more Indigenous peoples than we can name individually. We acknowledge that the lands hosting the GPU clusters, power infrastructure, fiber, and cooling systems we evaluate were originally — and in many cases still are — inhabited, stewarded, and cared for by Indigenous Nations and peoples across the Americas, Eurasia, and Oceania.

While we cannot name every people connected to every cluster we benchmark, we begin by honoring the peoples of the lands where SemiAnalysis lives and works:

Ramaytush Ohlone#

Our San Francisco office operates on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula.

Atfalati (Tualatin) Kalapuya#

Our Hillsboro, Oregon office operates on the traditional homelands of the Atfalati band of the Kalapuya, whose descendants are today members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.

Council of the Three Fires, Illinois Confederacy, Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Fox, and Sac Peoples#

Our Chicago office operates on land stewarded by the Council of the Three Fires (Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations), the Illinois Confederacy, and many other Native Nations including the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Fox, and Sac Peoples.

Acknowledgement is only a starting point. We share this statement with respect for Indigenous sovereignty, history, and ongoing community presence worldwide, and we welcome corrections if our wording should be improved or if specific peoples connected to clusters we benchmark should be named directly.
