Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |

| Integrator | - Designed by Versatus HPC | Versatus HPC | - | Reported | inforchannel.com.br |

The read
The supercomputer of the national HPC centre CENAPAD-SP at Unicamp in Campinas, designed by Versatus HPC on Dell PowerEdge servers and financed by FINEP. Inforchannel reports 70 integrated servers with 8,320 AMD EPYC 2 (Rome) cores, ten NVIDIA A100 GPUs (69,120 CUDA cores) and NVIDIA Mellanox InfiniBand, installed in August 2021 and about six times faster than the previous infrastructure; Unicamp's news item of 22 September 2021 confirms the ten A100 GPUs and the arrival at Cenapad-SP. Trade coverage (not fetched here) quotes 268 TFlop/s on CPUs and 97 TFlop/s on GPUs, so no FLOPS figure is recorded. It has not appeared on TOP500. Status is unconfirmed since 2021. The two sources are independent but each gives partial hardware detail, so the tier is reported.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
