PARAM Sanganak
Also known as IIT Kanpur PARAM Sanganak
Operated by IIT Kanpur at IIT Kanpur 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.

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
IIT Kanpur's National Supercomputing Mission machine, set up with C-DAC under an MoU signed on 12 October 2020. IIT Kanpur's hardware page lists 312 nodes: 217 standard CPU nodes and 78 high-memory nodes with two 24-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs each (192 GB and 768 GB), and 20 GPU nodes with two Xeon Gold 6248 CPUs and two NVIDIA V100 16GB cards each. The 14,960 core figure is our sum of that node table (217 and 78 nodes at 48 cores plus 20 at 40). The facility page quotes 1.3 PFlop/s of peak performance, a 100 Gbps InfiniBand fabric, 2 PB of parallel storage and 100 percent direct liquid cooling with domestically assembled servers; that operator figure is recorded and flagged as operator-stated. Both sources are IIT Kanpur pages, so confidence is reported.

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.
