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.

The read
NVIDIA's own supercomputer in Taiwan, announced at Computex on 29 May 2023 as 64 DGX H100 systems (512 H100 GPUs) plus 64 OVX systems with four L40 GPUs each, owned and operated by NVIDIA and aimed at large language models, healthcare, robotics, digital twins and climate science, with National Taiwan University among its first users. TOP500 lists it as an NVIDIA DGX H100 with Intel Xeon Platinum 8480C hosts, NVIDIA Infiniband NDR and Ubuntu 22.04, 40,960 cores, Rmax 22.30 PFlop/s and Rpeak 34.53 PFlop/s, first at rank 38 on June 2024 and rank 97 on June 2026.

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 |
