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 | - Dell PowerEdge dual-socket servers | Dell Technologies | - | Reported | docs.hpc.cineca.ithpc.cineca.it |
| Accelerator | - 36 GPU nodes x 2 NVIDIA V100 (quantity derived as 36 x 2) | NVIDIA | 72 reported | Reported | hpc.cineca.itdocs.hpc.cineca.it |
| CPU | - Dual-socket Intel Xeon Cascade Lake nodes (docs: Platinum 8276/8276L 2.4 GHz, hardware page: 8260), 384 GiB per node | Intel | - | Reported | docs.hpc.cineca.ithpc.cineca.it |

The read
CINECA's Dell PowerEdge Tier-1 cluster for the Italian public and industrial research community, co-funded by the European ICEI project and available since September 2021, with a stated peak of 2 PFlop/s. CINECA's documentation describes dual-socket Intel Cascade Lake nodes (the docs page names Xeon Platinum 8276/8276L at 2.4 GHz and 48 cores per node, the hardware page names the 8260), 384 GiB per node with 180 data-processing nodes carrying 3 TB of Intel Optane, and 36 GPU nodes with two NVIDIA V100 each, on a Mellanox InfiniBand 100 Gb/s network. The two CINECA pages disagree on node totals (528 versus 630 nodes, the latter including a November 2022 expansion of 82 nodes), and 77 OpenStack cloud servers and 20 PB of shared active storage sit alongside the HPC partitions, so no core count is recorded. It does not appear on the TOP500 pages checked. Both sources are CINECA pages, so 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.
