Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1540 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 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
CPU-only C-DAC Rudra-103 server cluster that debuted on the June 2026 TOP500 at rank 318 with 98,304 cores of Xeon Gold 6240R 24-core 2.4 GHz, HDR100 InfiniBand and Rocky Linux 9.6, 4.48 PFlop/s Rmax and 7.55 PFlop/s Rpeak (Intel oneAPI MKL and MPI). TOP500 names the site only as C-DAC and gives no power figure; the installation location and funding programme are not stated there, so no site is recorded. The CPU is the same Xeon Gold 6240R used in the National Supercomputing Mission PARAM Rudra installations (for example param-rudra-gmrt), but no page tying this machine to the NSM was found. Its sibling GPU system is param-rudra-104. Ranked 0 here because the June 2026 list edition is already full in the dataset.
