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 | - Bell builds and funds the 300 MW AI Fabric data centre campus in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood | Bell Canada | - | Reported | bce.ca |
| Integrator | - CoreWeave to host scalable NVIDIA GPU-based compute in the Bell campus | CoreWeave | - | Reported | bce.ca |
| Accelerator | - Cerebras wafer-scale systems for large-scale AI inference and training, funded and supplied by Cerebras | Cerebras | - | Reported | bce.ca |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facility power | 300 MW | 2026-10 | Operator stated | Stated as a 300 MW data centre; IT versus facility scope not specified. Bell's capex is about 1.7 billion Canadian dollars, not recorded here because the unit is CAD. | bce.casaskatchewan.ca |
The read
Bell Canada's flagship 300 MW Bell AI Fabric data centre campus in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, just outside Regina, Saskatchewan, announced on 16 March 2026 with the Government of Saskatchewan. Bell funds the physical facility (about 1.7 billion Canadian dollars of capital expenditure, roughly 1.3 billion of it in 2026) while the tenants fund and supply the compute: Cerebras provides wafer-scale systems for inference and training and CoreWeave hosts NVIDIA GPU-based compute. A significant share of the power is to be dedicated to sovereign AI compute. The province's 1 October 2026 construction update reports structural steel rising on all four first-phase buildings, more than 500 workers on site and the first data hall on track for the first half of 2027; Bell and Saskatchewan also signed a memorandum of understanding for a potential 1.2 GW provincial AI hub. No GPU or system count is stated. Both sources are from the operator and the provincial government around the same announcement, so the tier is reported. It has never submitted an HPL result.

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.
