Operated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise .
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
HPE-run GPU system listed by TOP500 under Hewlett Packard Enterprise as Vader: an HPE Cray XD670 with Xeon Platinum 8562Y+ 32C 2.8GHz hosts, NVIDIA H200 SXM5 141 GB GPUs and InfiniBand NDR under RHEL 9.4, installed 2025, with 8,960 cores, Rmax 3.14 PFlop/s, Rpeak 3.48 PFlop/s, 44.63 TFlop/s on HPCG and 53.94 kW (power measurement level 1). It debuted at rank 365 on the June 2025 list (its best position) and was 418th in June 2026. TOP500 is the only source fetched, so the tier is reported; no city or in-service date is published.

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.
| Cited source | Result | Found on the page |
