Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1540 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | - Compaq Alpha 21264 667 MHz, 768 processors | Compaq HPENYSE

The read
Self-built cluster of 768 Compaq Alpha 21264 (EV67, 666-667 MHz) processors on Myrinet, filed by TOP500 under the Joint Supercomputer Center. A Russian science digest of 7 August 2001 excerpting the Moscow Times and The Times reports that a machine of 768 Compaq Alpha processors with a theoretical peak near 1 TFlop/s, called MVS-1000, was unveiled at the Russian Academy of Sciences in early August 2001 after development that began in 1998, for modelling of cosmic systems, oil and gas exploration and weather forecasting; both papers noted it could simulate nuclear explosions, which raised export-control concerns. The excerpt does not name the Joint Supercomputer Center, so the attribution rests on TOP500, which dates the installation to 2002. First TOP500 appearance: June 2002, rank 64, Rmax 564 GFlop/s, Rpeak 1,024 GFlop/s; Rmax improved to 734.6 GFlop/s from November 2002 (rank 74); last appearance June 2004 at rank 376 (https://www.top500.org/system/167435/). The August 2001 unveiling is used as the first-operational date although TOP500 gives 2002. Not to be confused with the much later MVS-10P (mvs-10p).

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.
