MTBF and Serviceability
| Attribution | Failures | MTBF | UDT | Serviceability |
| Cray | 0 | ∞ | 00:00 | 100% |
| Site | 0 | ∞ | 00:00 | 100% |
| External | 0 | ∞ | 00:00 | 100% |
| Other/Unknown | 0 | ∞ | 00:00 | 100% |
| Overall | 0 | ∞ | 00:00 | 100% |
- Note 1: Serviceability%= 100*(WCT-SDT-UDT)/(WCT-SDT)
- Note 2: MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is defined as 732/Number of failures.

Technology Provision
| Description | TSL | FSL | Value |
| Technology reliability | 85% | 98.5% | 100% |
| Technology throughput | 7000 hours | 8367 hours | 8690 hours |
| Capability job completion rate | 70% | 90% | 98.9% |
| Technology MTBF | 100 hours | 126.4 hours | 732 |
