Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1581 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

How it compares
Ranked against the other machines in this dataset that report the same figure: those that first came into service within two years of SAKURAONE CYC, and those in Japan. Computed from our tables; a metric is ranked only when at least eight peers report it.
| Metric | Value | Against its era | Against its country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rmax | 19.31 PFlop/s | #83 of 202 · top 41% | #17 of 131 · top 12% |
| Rmax ÷ Rpeak | 64.6 % | #142 of 199 · bottom 30% | #101 of 130 · bottom 23% |
Every metric is ranked largest-first, so a high power-draw rank means a big power draw, not a good one. Rmax ÷ Rpeak uses HPL-measured results only. Rankings move as machines are added; they describe this dataset, not the world.
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
The H200-based entry in SAKURA internet's SAKURAONE family; the original H100 machine is the sakuraone row, which already notes that CYB, CYC and CYD were entered separately. TOP500 lists SAKURAONE CYC as a Supermicro SuperServer H200 with Xeon Platinum 8580 60C 2 GHz and NVIDIA H200 SXM5 141 GB under 'SAKURA Internet Inc. / Prunus Solutions Inc.', installed 2025, with 64,680 cores, Rmax 19.31 and Rpeak 29.90 PFlop/s, HPCG 307.854 TFlop/s and Rocky Linux 9.6; it ranked 93rd in November 2025 and 113th in June 2026. SAKURA's managed-HPC service page offers an H200 partition of 55 nodes with eight H200 GPUs (440 GPUs) and two Xeon Platinum 8580 per node (6,600 cores) on 400GbE x 8, which fits the TOP500 CPU and GPU models, but the page does not name the TOP500 entry, so the 440-GPU quantity is our inference. TOP500 lists the interconnect only as Ethernet. The B200 sibling is sakuraone-cyb; CYD (37.79 PFlop/s, June 2026) is not recorded.

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.
