Tryton Plus
Also known as TASK Tryton Plus
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.

The read
Liquid-cooled Huawei CH121L V5 cluster at CI TASK, Gdansk University of Technology, bought in mid-2021 through the PRACE-LAB project. TOP500 lists 30,432 cores of Xeon Platinum 8268 24C 2.9GHz on InfiniBand EDR, 1.73 PFlop/s Rmax, 2.82 PFlop/s Rpeak and 307 kW running CentOS; it ranked 360th in June 2021 (entry recorded here) and 462nd in June 2022. TASK documentation lists 634 servers with 1,268 processors and 166 TB of RAM on a fat-tree EDR fabric, plus a 16-node GPU partition of A100 80GB cards, quoting 3.8 PFLOPS overall.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| docs.task.gda.pl | names system and part | Mellanox InfiniBand EDR |
| top500.org | names system and part | Mellanox InfiniBand EDR |
