Oakleaf-FX
Operated by University of Tokyo at University of Tokyo, Kashiwa Campus .
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
The first installation of Fujitsu's PRIMEHPC FX10, at the University of Tokyo's Information Technology Center on the Kashiwa Campus, the same site later used for Wisteria/BDEC-01, already in this dataset. 4,800 SPARC64 IXfx nodes (76,800 cores total, 150 TB of memory) on Fujitsu's Tofu 6D mesh/torus interconnect, ordered in November 2011 and operational from 2 April 2012, 18th on the June 2012 TOP500 list. Fujitsu's own press release and The Register's independent report agree on the node count, the processor, the interconnect and the 1.4 MW power figure; TOP500's measured Rmax LINPACK result is not corroborated elsewhere, so the tier stays reported. No decommissioning notice was found for this specific installation, so status is carried as last documented rather than inferred.

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.
