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
A Huawei E9000 blade cluster at the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, listed by TOP500 with 32,984 cores of Xeon E5-2697v3 (14 cores, 2.6 GHz) on 56G InfiniBand FDR, 1.01 PFlop/s Rmax, 1.37 PFlop/s Rpeak and 549.6 kW, installed in 2015. It entered the TOP500 at 80th on the November 2015 list (recorded here) and stayed on the list until November 2018, when it ranked 416th. PSNC and Huawei launched it at the PSNC-Huawei Innovation Center inauguration on 22 January 2016 as a 1.4 PFlop/s machine and the second most powerful in Poland, which agrees with the TOP500 peak figure. The status date is the last TOP500 appearance, because no later operator statement was found. The newer PSNC systems Altair and Proxima are separate rows.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| psnc.pl | names system only | - |
| top500.org | names system and part | Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3, Mellanox InfiniBand FDR |
