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

The Taiyi cluster of the Science and Engineering Computing Center at Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen: Lenovo ThinkSystem SD530 nodes with Xeon Gold 6148 on Omni-Path, installed in October 2018. SUSTech reports 32,400 cores, 2.5 PFlop/s theoretical and 1.687 PFlop/s measured, and 127th place on the November 2018 list; the TOP500 rounds these to 1.69 and 2.49 PFlop/s. A separate V100 GPU partition (TaiYi GPU) was listed alongside it.

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
newshub.sustech.edu.cn	names system and part	Intel Xeon Gold 6148
top500.org	names system and part	Intel Xeon Gold 6148, Omni-Path Architecture
