State Grid ESSystem
Also known as ESSystem
Operated by State Grid Corporation of China .
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.

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
State Grid Corporation of China's Sugon TC6000 cluster of Xeon E5-2630v4 10C 2.2GHz processors on 10G Ethernet, running CentOS with Intel Composer XE, MKL and Intel MPI: 105,000 cores at 1.79 PFlop/s Rmax and 3.696 PFlop/s Rpeak on 1,100 kW, listed in the Industry segment in Beijing. It debuted at rank 112 on the November 2018 list and last appeared at rank 486 on November 2022, which is the basis for the status date; no retirement notice was found.

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 only | - |
| top500.org | names system and part | CentOS |
