Italian Petroleum has the world's largest industrial supercomputer
The data center was launched at ENI's Green Data Center in Ferrera Erbognone, 60 km from Milan in 2013, and cost about 250 million dollars, something like 204 million euros.And if it looks like a giant bunker, inside it is an efficient and sustainable calculation system, capable of making 22.4 petaflop of operations per second. To simplify accounts, know that 1 petaflop equals 1 billion mathematical calculations per second.Used to detect underground gas and oil reserves thousands of miles away, the machine, now called HPC4, can process data from drones used on the farm and from sensors connected to personnel working in hazardous conditions.The company will have spent about $ 25 million updating the system of the one that is the only non-governmental and non-institutional computer among the top 10 in the world, according to the TOP 500.Watch the video to pay a visit to the "heart of the company", in the words of Claudio Descalzi, CEO of ENI.
