Operated by University of Delaware .
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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |

The read
The University of Delaware's NSF-funded (about 1.4 million dollars) big-data and HPC system, with 20 percent of its resources contributed to XSEDE and later ACCESS. The documentation lists 105 compute nodes with 6,672 cores, 22 GPUs and 100 TB of memory across standard, large-memory and extra-large-memory nodes plus NVIDIA T4, NVIDIA V100 and AMD MI50 GPU nodes, on Mellanox HDR100 InfiniBand with about 1.1 PiB of Lustre storage. The same page states DARWIN was decommissioned on 1 October 2025 after five years of operation. Only one source was fetched, so confidence is reported and no second URL is recorded. The data center location is not stated. No benchmark FLOPS are published.

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.
