Status context. The complete original current University computing page describes active research resources including Orion, and its current contact page identifies the computing building. The original December 18, 2019 article expressly locates Orion at the Portera center. Together these support institution reported computing service at the inherited center scope. Historical rankings, later expansion metrics and different network overview figures are not current independently certified capacity. The ceremony day is separate from a later January 2020 reprint and first computing service. The oversized booklet was not read or obtained through another copy, and no alternate building or site is merged.
Calculated official source street reference, not a surveyed roof or parcel. The operator HPC Building street is 2 Research Boulevard, Starkville, Mississippi 39759. Its original September 2021 booklet explicitly names that building for Malcolm A. Portera and identifies the primary data center. One literal Census street range supplies only a calculated reference in Oktibbeha County. Printed booklet ZIP 39762 versus current contact ZIP 39759 is retained, without changing canonical postal or physical facts. Existing Native group unknown remains unchanged. Imagery acquisition date is unknown and may predate construction.
Dated record.
- announced
- The original Mississippi State December 18, 2019 article explicitly dates the Orion ribbon ceremony that day and locates the system at the Portera center. This is a ceremony account rather than first computing commissioning; the later January 2020 reprint date remains distinct.
