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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerator | - 88 NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs (22 nodes x 4) | NVIDIA | 88 reported | Reported | supercomputing.swin.edu.auitnews.com.au |
| CPU | - AMD EPYC 7543 32-core, two per node on 170 CPU nodes | AMD | - | Reported | supercomputing.swin.edu.auitnews.com.au |
| Interconnect | NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR (Quantum-2) Interconnect Fat tree or dragonfly+ · 400 Gb/s per port · Under 0.6 microseconds NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR InfiniBand switches at 200 Gbps | NVIDIA | - | Reported | supercomputing.swin.edu.auitnews.com.au |
The read
Swinburne University of Technology's flagship OzSTAR machine, an A$5.2 million system funded by the Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund and named in Woiwurrung by Wurundjeri elders (it is Swinburne's, not part of NCI). Swinburne's documentation lists 160 standard nodes and 10 high-memory nodes with two 32-core AMD EPYC 7543 CPUs each and 22 GPU nodes with four NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs each, 11,648 CPU cores and 88 GPUs in total, joined by NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR InfiniBand at 200 Gbps. iTnews dates the launch to August 2023 and the funding announcement to February 2022; it does not name the integrator. It supports gravitational-wave astronomy, neuroscience and earth observation. No TOP500 entry was found.

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.
