Lomonosov-2
Operated by Lomonosov Moscow State University at MSU Research Computing Center .
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
Russia's largest academic supercomputer, built by T-Platforms for Moscow State University's Research Computing Center as a staged expansion of the original 2013 Lomonosov cluster. TOP500 records an initial Xeon E5-2697v3/Tesla K40m configuration later supplemented with Xeon Gold 6126 nodes and Tesla P100 accelerators, for 64,384 total cores and a measured 2.478 PFlop/s. This dataset omits a specific TOP500 rank/edition pointer here because the system's rank has shifted across many editions since 2014 and no single directly-fetched page gave a clean rank-and-edition pair; the hardware and performance facts above come straight from the system's own TOP500 entry. A 2019 academic paper on the system's monitoring architecture independently confirms the operator and Moscow location.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| superfri.org | names system only | - |
| top500.org | names system and part | Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3, Mellanox InfiniBand FDR |
