San Donato Milanese (MI), 18 November 2013 – Eni has fired up its new Petaflop class supercomputer. The supercomputer will support hydrocarbon exploration activities, providing the computing capacity needed to improve the accuracy and resolution of the geophysical and geological studies, which are essential to locate and develop new hydrocarbon reserves and to project safe and optimal drilling activities. Eni will have an available computing capacity in excess of 3 Petaflops. The system is able to achieve a performance comparable to most powerful computing centres worldwide.
The supercomputer is based on a cluster architecture with a system consisting of 1.500 dual CPU nodes (24.000 cores), enhanced by 1.300 General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU),which are used as computational accelerators (equivalent to 20.800 additional cores).Cluster nodes are connected by a very high speed internal network and data storage is assisted by a high bandwidth parallel storage system providing 5 PetaByte disk capacity. The computing capacity will be maintained to the level needed to match business requirements with an annual replacement of half of the nodes every year in order to constantly keep the pace of the HPC technology development cycle.
The system will support the execution of the Eni leading edge suite of 3D Seismic Imaging packages, as well as advanced Petroleum System Modelling Algorithms.
In line with the Eni commitment to sustainability, the system is designed to target the maximum level of energy efficiency. For this reason, the supercomputer has been hosted in the new Eni data centre, the “Green Data Centre‘ in Ferrera Erbognone (Pavia). This new centre has been built to host Eni’s central computer processing systems, both for information management and seismic simulation processing (High Performance Computing).
The Green Data Centre uses the most innovative infrastructure for energy efficiency, cutting CO2 emissions by 335,000 tons per year (about 1% of the Italian Kyoto energy target) and significantly reduces operating costs. The Green Data Centre achieved the world energy efficiency record for mega-centres, which is measured as the ratio between total energy consumption and the energy which is consumed by the IT equipment. For the new data centre, this ratio will be below 1.2 - the best result in the world.

EnergIA (ener'dʒia) is a system based on Generative Artificial Intelligence.
Thanks to this technology, we can respond to your requests by querying the most relevant content and documents available on eni.com. (Note: financial documents from the last 12 months and press releases from the last 2 years are considered.)
Through EnergIA, you can delve into topics of interest and have a real-time window into the world of Eni.
If you wish to search for a specific document, press release or news, use the traditional search engine via the magnifying glass icon.
Like all systems that leverage Generative Artificial Intelligence, EnergIA may generate inaccurate or outdated responses. Always consult the sources that EnergIA proposes as the origin of the generated information.
If the system fails to find an exact match for the requested content, it still tends to provide a response.
If you find any inaccuracies in the provided response, please send us your feedback at the bottom of the page: it will be very helpful for us to improve.
Remember that the content generated by the system does not represent Eni’s official position. We therefore invite stakeholders to refer to their designated contacts for official statements: Press Office for journalists, Investor Relations for analysts and investors, Company Secretariat for shareholders etc..
EnergIA can understand questions posed in almost all languages, but we prefer to provide you with a response in English or Italian, the two languages available on eni.com. If you ask a question in Italian, the content on the site in Italian will be consulted. If you ask it in English or any other language, the content in English will be consulted. (Note: the language Eni uses for financial documents/content is predominantly English.)
If questions are formulated that violate the set security criteria, the system will not proceed with processing the response. Please remember not to send personal data.
