Operated by MHPCC DSRC .
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: 1263 of 1345 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 56 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
An Aspen Systems Linux cluster at the MHPCC DoD Supercomputing Resource Center that the DoD HPCMP lists among its non-allocated experimental systems. It mixes x86_64 and ARM nodes so users can compare architectures: Intel Xeon Ice Lake login and compute nodes, AMD EPYC 7513 Milan nodes with AMD Instinct MI100 and MI250 GPUs, 8-way NVIDIA A100 GPU nodes, Ampere Altra Q80 and Q64 ARM nodes (including an ARM, A100 and DPU node type), InfiniBand and a WEKA parallel file system under Slurm. The program calls it a testbed for ARM-based HPC evaluation and gives an end of life of 14 August 2028. The hardware table gives a peak figure that is not clearly in PFlop/s, so no FLOPS value is recorded. Tier reported: single source family.

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.
None of the cited sources could be read from our network: the hosts returned bot challenges or did not respond. This check says nothing about the citations either way. See how this check works.
