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.

The read
A bank-owned HPE Cray XD670 system with Intel Xeon Platinum 8462Y+ 32C 2.8GHz hosts, NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB GPUs, InfiniBand and Ubuntu 22.04, listed on the TOP500 under the segment label HPC-AI. TOP500 gives 71,680 cores, Rmax 21.46 PFlop/s and Rpeak 27.88 PFlop/s, with ranks of 76 (June 2025), 84 (November 2025) and 102 (June 2026); the first appearance is recorded here. It is one of the few financial-institution machines on the list under its own name. Bank of America has not published a page describing the system, so TOP500 is the only source, the site and purpose are unknown, and 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.
| Cited source | Result | Found on the page |
