Cyclone
Operated by The Cyprus Institute at Cyprus Institute HPC Facility, Nicosia .
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 |

The read
Cyprus's national academic HPC system, a hybrid CPU/GPU cluster at the Cyprus Institute's High Performance Computing Facility in Nicosia: 17 CPU-only nodes and 16 GPU-accelerated nodes, each with two 20-core Intel Xeon Gold 6248 CPUs, the GPU nodes adding four NVIDIA Tesla V100-SXM2 32GB apiece, on an HDR100 InfiniBand fabric (1320 cores total by direct count). The facility's own resource page lists Cyclone as a legacy system currently being decommissioned in favor of newer CYI hardware. A widely repeated 600 TFlop/s peak figure for Cyclone could not be confirmed on any page this dataset could directly fetch, so rmax/rpeak are left blank rather than guessed; it does not appear on TOP500.

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.
