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.

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.

The read
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD at Amgen's Icelandic human-genetics subsidiary deCODE genetics in Reykjavik, announced 8 January 2024 as 31 DGX H100 nodes with 248 H100 GPUs (NVIDIA's blog and The Decoder agree on these figures), named after the Norse goddess Freyja. It is used to train AI models on deCODE's roughly 200 petabytes of de-identified human data from nearly three million people, for a human-diversity atlas, drug-target discovery and biomarkers. Amgen's May 2024 and April 2025 stories describe the system as installed and in use, but neither restates the hardware counts, and the original announcement used future tense, so this stays at reported confidence. Networking, storage and power are not published, and no TOP500 or HPL result exists.

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.
