Our supercomputing system is among the most powerful in the world and it accelerates our transformation.
The HPC7 High Performance Computing (HPC) system, completed and commissioned in June 2026, significantly enhances the computing power of Eni’s Green Data Center in Ferrera Erbognone, in the province of Pavia. Combined with the previous HPC6 system, HPC7 enables us to surpass the Exascale threshold, equivalent to a computing power of more than one quintillion (one billion billion) mathematical operations per second (1048 PFlop/s sustained and 1467 PFlop/s peak).
With a sustained computing capacity of more than 571 and a peak performance of over 861, HPC7 represents a world-leading technological achievement among industrial supercomputers. The new infrastructure is complemented by the previous HPC6 system, inaugurated in November 2024, which retains a sustained performance (Rmax) of 477 PFlop/s and a peak computing capacity of more than 606 PFlop/s.
The entire system continues to rely on liquid-cooling technology, optimising heat dissipation and reducing overall energy consumption, in line with the most advanced efficiency standards in supercomputing.
In the global Top500 ranking, it is positioned 6th worldwide, second in Europe and confirming its position as the world’s most powerful High-Performance Computer for industrial use. HPC7 thus surpasses HPC6, launched in November 2024, which has in turn confirmed its position within the TOP10.

With a peak computing power of 861 PFlop/s¹, the new HPC7 system is based on a hybrid architecture combining CPUs and GPUs, featuring almost 3,400 computing nodes² and nearly 14,000 GPUs to maximise computational performance and energy efficiency.
It is used to optimise industrial operations, improve the accuracy of geological and fluid dynamics studies for CO₂ storage, develop next-generation batteries, optimise the biofuel value chain and simulate plasma behaviour in magnetic confinement fusion.
Its high computing power accelerates Eni’s transformation, supporting the development of new high-potential businesses linked to the energy transition. It also strengthens synergies between Eni and its Satellite companies and creates strategic value for new external collaborations.
