Operated by University of Tokyo .
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
University of Tokyo Information Technology Center GPU subsystem: 120 SGI Rackable C1102-GP8 nodes, each with two Xeon E5-2695 v4 and two Tesla P100 (240 GPUs), 1,418 TFLOPS peak on InfiniBand FDR. The first time the centre adopted accelerators in a supercomputer, aimed at big data and machine learning. Part of the three-subsystem Reedbush complex (U, H, L) sharing a 5.04 PB Lustre file system. Ranked 204th on the June 2017 TOP500. Reedbush service ended in November 2021.

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.
