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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | - ASUS ESC N8-E11 servers (TOP500 manufacturer field: Mbuzz/Q-Leap Networks) | ASUS | - | Reported | top500.org |

The read
The Technology Innovation Institute's newer GPU system, listed on TOP500 as TII-Oryx-HPC: ASUS ESC N8-E11 nodes with NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3 GPUs on NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR, running Qlustar 14 on Ubuntu 24.04, with Mbuzz/Q-Leap Networks given as the manufacturer. TOP500 lists 61,600 cores, 19.48 PFlop/s Rmax and 26.57 PFlop/s Rpeak, ranked 90th on the November 2025 list and 109th on the June 2026 list. TOP500 contradicts itself on the CPU: the system name says Xeon Platinum 8462Y+ 32C 2.8GHz while the processor field says AMD EPYC 9354 32C 3.25GHz, and this row follows the system name because the ESC N8-E11 is an Intel-based HGX server, which is an inference. TII's Dhabi supercomputer is already in this dataset. No page states what workloads it runs, the node or GPU count, or a power draw, so the workload class is a judgement and the tier is reported.

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.
