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
Italy's first NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, bought by Fastweb (wholly owned by Swisscom) and hosted at Aruba's data center in Ponte San Pietro near Bergamo. 31 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems totaling 248 H100 GPUs went operational on 9 July 2024, described by Fastweb and press coverage as the most powerful privately-owned DGX SuperPOD in Italy at the time. Each DGX H100 is rated at 32 PFlop/s of FP8 AI compute for an estimated 992 PFlop/s aggregate AI throughput, an FP8 vendor rate rather than an HPL result, so no Rmax or Rpeak is recorded. Powers MIIA, an Italian-language large language model trained on 1,500 billion tokens, offered to startups, enterprise, university and public-sector customers as IaaS.
