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
One of Intel's internal clusters on TOP500, separate from the Endeavor line: an HPE Cluster Platform 3000 of BL460c nodes with 30,672 Xeon E5-2680v3 (12-core, 2.5GHz) cores on InfiniBand FDR, at 0.83 PFlop/s Rmax and 1.23 PFlop/s Rpeak with 1,533.6 kW listed. It debuted at rank 81 in June 2015, then ranked 99, 114, 149, 186 and 268 before its last appearance at 373 in June 2018. Like Endeavor it is sited only as Intel with no city disclosed. Status is recorded as of the last list appearance.

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.
