Operated by USP CIAAM at USP CIAAM (Sao Paulo) .
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 Sao Paulo's AI cluster for its Center for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CIAAM-USP), inaugurated on 13 February 2026 and described by USP as the largest in Latin America with Blackwell B200 GPUs. Press coverage lists 96 NVIDIA B200 SXM GPUs in 12 HGX 8x B200 compute nodes joined by NVLink, five AMD EPYC head nodes, InfiniBand NDR up to 800 Gb/s plus 200 Gb/s Ethernet, about 300 TB of BeeGFS storage and NVIDIA AI Enterprise with Base Command Manager, using Supermicro servers integrated by Scherm Brasil with Positivo Servers and Solutions as a partner. Procurement cost R$40 million (about US$8 million), imported directly from the United States and assembled within 30 days of the contract. No power or peak figure was found. The two outlets are independent but both relay USP's announcement, 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.
