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
Yandex's second A100 machine-learning supercomputer, named for the neural-network researcher Alexander Galushkin. Yandex lists 136 nodes with 1,088 NVIDIA A100 80 GB GPUs, 17,408 CPU cores and 330 kW, and TOP500 lists 134,912 cores (including GPU cores) of AMD EPYC 7702 with InfiniBand, 16.02 PFlop/s Rmax and a November 2021 debut at rank 36; both sources agree on Rmax and that rank, and it was still on the June 2026 list at rank 134. No physical site is published, so the row is left unlocated. The GPU count is stated by Yandex alone.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| top500.org | names system and part | Ubuntu Server |
| yandex.com | names system only | - |
