Eni’s HPC6 supercomputer will accelerate AI modeling and
simulation to boost energy transition
- HPE will build Eni’s next-generation supercomputer to deliver
artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation capabilities to
sustain the path to energy transition
- HPC6 will be one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers
dedicated to industrial use
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) announced it is building
a next-generation supercomputer called HPC6 for Eni, one of the
world’s largest energy providers. Eni will use the system to
advance scientific discovery and engineering toward accelerating
innovation in energy transition. Eni has a long history of using
supercomputers to aid its goal of reaching net zero. Once
completed, HPC6 will be one of the world’s most powerful
supercomputers owned by an enterprise, a notable distinction as the
top systems are typically owned by public entities and research
institutions.
HPC6 will be built with HPE Cray EX4000 systems featuring AMD
EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators, the same innovations
powering the world’s fastest supercomputer to support data and
image-intensive workloads across artificial intelligence (AI),
modeling, and simulation. The system will augment Eni’s existing
research that is focused on studying and identifying new energy
sources, including renewable energy. HPC6 will increase Eni’s
available computational power to a theoretical peak performance of
600 quadrillion (600 followed by 15 zeroes) floating point
operations per second, or 600 petaFLOP/s.
“Businesses are finding themselves balancing the huge business
opportunities enabled by their AI investments with the
responsibility of mitigating the environmental impact of these
powerful systems,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE. “As
the leader in developing energy efficient AI and supercomputing
solutions, HPE is uniquely positioned to help organizations
minimize power consumption while maximizing business outcomes. We
are excited to play a role in Eni’s commitment to decarbonization
supported by digitalization and innovation.”
Eni’s HPC6 will be installed in the company’s energy efficient
Green Data Center in Italy, which will be upgraded to support HPE’s
direct liquid-cooling (DLC) capabilities. DLC cools
compute-intensive systems using less energy than air-cooled
systems. HPE has built six of the top 10 most energy efficient
supercomputers in the world according to the Green500 list
published in November 2023. The system will also include the HPE
Slingshot Interconnect, an open Ethernet-based high performance
network designed to support exascale workloads, and HPE Cray
ClusterStor E1000, a Lustre-based, open-source parallel file system
storage for faster, efficient performance.
"Fueling AI-driven research using supercomputing will
significantly drive scientific discovery and accelerate
innovation,” said Claudio Bassoli, president and managing director
of HPE Italy. “We are proud that Eni has entrusted HPE with this
pivotal project that prioritizes energy efficiency in its mission
to advance discovery and development of new energy sources.”
