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

Dream-AI is the HPC-AI shared infrastructure at the GIST Super Computing Center in Gwangju, South Korea. TOP500 lists an Inspur NF5688M6 cluster with Intel Xeon Gold 6330 28C 2GHz hosts, NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB GPUs and Mellanox HDR InfiniBand on Ubuntu 20.04.1, with 36,960 cores, Rmax 3.18 and Rpeak 6.42 PFlop/s; it debuted 178th in November 2022 and was 406th in June 2026. Seoul Shinmun (28 November 2022) independently gives 178th, 3.18 PFlop/s HPL, about 6.4 PFlop/s peak and 10 PB of storage at 200 GB/s, funded with 14 billion won by the Ministry of Science and ICT, Gwangju City and the national ICT promotion agency. That article does not state the GPU model or count. TOP500 gives 2022 as the install year; no page fetched gives an in-service date, so none is recorded.
