Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced the upgrade of Eni’s existing supercomputer system, HPC4, to accelerate discovery of new energy sources. The new supercomputer, delivered as a service through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, will increase HPC4 performance, improve its computing capacity when running simulations, and double storage capacity to improve accuracy of image-intensive modeling and simulations of complex energy research. The HPE GreenLake platform, which combines simplicity and agility with the governance, visibility and compliance of an on-premises environment, will allow Eni to more easily monitor HPC4 utilization and energy consumption, helping to increase sustainability. Doubling storage capacity to support an increasing, image-intensive library of analysis. Eni’s HPC4 has doubled its storage capacity, compared to Eni’s previous system, with 10 petabytes of storage, to support the scaling and image-intensity of its analysis, which are key to developing new energy sources. New expanded storage capabilities from HPE include the Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system and the HPE Data Management Framework to support complex, image-intensive workloads in modeling and simulation. The new infrastructure will improve energy usage and reduce electronic waste by using HPE Asset Upcycling Services. This is part of the circular economy initiative from HPE Financial Services, which leverages asset longevity to reuse products, by recycling equipment from its existing HPC4 system and replacing it with newer solutions. Eni’s new HPC4 is built with 1,500 nodes HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus servers, which provide dense, flexible platforms with the industry’s most trusted built-in security. The customized HPE ProLiant servers also leverage latest compute with the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors for modeling and simulation workloads, and accelerated compute and targeted graphics capabilities for image-intensive workloads using the AMD Instinct™ MI100 accelerator and NVIDIA V100 and A100 Tensor Core GPUs. The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform provides customers with a powerful foundation to drive digital transformation. The HPE GreenLake platform can run on-premises, at the edge, or in a colocation facility, and combines the simplicity and agility of the cloud with the governance, compliance, and visibility that comes with hybrid IT.
