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.

Measured performance

Rmax: 2.42 PFlop/s
Rpeak: 3.51 PFlop/s
Rmax ÷ Rpeak: 68.9%

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.

The read

Arizona State University's Dell supercomputer, built around 56 PowerEdge XE8545 nodes with four A100 80 GB GPUs each plus 112 CPU-only EPYC 7713 nodes, 5 high-memory nodes and 5 A30 nodes on InfiniBand. The PEARC23 paper states 17,904 Zen3 cores, 224 A100 and 15 A30 GPUs and 104 TB of RAM at release, in a liquid-cooled Iron Mountain colocation hall rather than on campus. TOP500 first listed it in November 2023 at 377th (41,856 cores, 2.42 PFlop/s Rmax, 3.51 Rpeak) and its latest entry is 484th in November 2025 with 28,800 cores. The ASU paper reports a GPU-only HPL of 2.272 PFlop/s, so the HPL figures here are the TOP500 ones. No site is attached because the colocation city is not stated in the sources fetched.

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.

Every source cited on this page was readable, and none of them mentions this system. They are cited at page granularity, normally because no stable deep link could be found. That is a real weakness in this row and it is why the system carries a confidence tier below verified. See how this check works.
