Operated by CI TASK at CI TASK Data Centre (Gdansk) .
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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |

The read
Gdansk University of Technology's Tryton cluster, launched in March 2015 as the first petascale system in the Tricity area. TOP500 lists 38,400 cores of Xeon E5-2670v3 12-core processors on InfiniBand, 1.01 PFlop/s Rmax, 1.41 PFlop/s peak and 864 kW, ranking it 93rd in June 2016 and 421st in November 2018. TASK's documentation, which still describes it as in use, counts 1,607 servers, 3,214 processors, 38,568 cores, 64 accelerators and 218 TB of memory on InfiniBand FDR with Mellanox switches and quotes about 1.8 PFlop/s for the expanded cluster, so the TOP500 figures are used for performance. Science in Poland put the price at 30 million zlotys for the machine and 40 million for the whole project. TOP500 is the only source for Rmax.

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.
