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.

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 Fujitsu PRIMEHPC FX100 of Nagoya University's Information Technology Center: 92,160 SPARC64 XIfx 32-core cores at 2.2 GHz on Tofu interconnect 2, with a 3.2 petaflop peak that the center's own page reports as 21st on the 46th TOP500 list in November 2015 (TOP500's table shows 22nd). The center's page says the FX100 was replaced by the supercomputer Flow, which began operation in July 2020. TOP500 is the only source for Rmax, cores and power, 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.
