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
The University of Costa Rica's supercomputer, officially presented on 13 November 2025 for national research from the Sistema de Estudios de Posgrado. Delfino.cr reports 16 nodes with 64 cores and 1 TB of RAM each (1,024 cores) plus NVIDIA A100 GPUs, and an example calculation cut from 16 hours to two. The article gives no GPU count, vendor, interconnect, peak figure or cost. It is a different system from the national Kabre cluster at CeNAT. Only one page was fetched for this system, 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.
