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 | - 40 NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti GPUs (distributed acceleration) | NVIDIA | 40 reported | Reported | caid.namal.edu.pk |
The read
Pakistan's largest academic supercomputing cluster, operated by Namal Institute's Center for AI and Big Data in Mianwali as part of a planned National Centre of Excellence in Supercomputing with Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute and Pak-Austria Fachhochschule. The centre's own page lists 20 nodes with 1,600 processor cores, 5 TB of main memory, 40 TB of SSD, 40 NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti GPUs, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet low-latency switch and 1.6 PetaFLOPS peak, which is recorded as an operator-stated peak (a consumer-GPU system, not a HPL result). Wikipedia's Supercomputing in Pakistan article instead lists this machine as a 2023 CPU, GPU and FPGA cluster at 3,500 TFlop/s peak and 1,100 TFlop/s sustained; the two disagree, so the operator's own smaller figures are used and confidence is reported. No TOP500 entry.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| caid.namal.edu.pk | does not name this system | - |
