Energy company TotalEnergies has unveiled the latest generation of its Pangea supercomputer, housed at the Jean Féger Scientific and Technical Center at Pau in southwest France.
The Pangea 4 system is smaller and more energy efficient than the Pangea II, using 87 percent less electricity than its predecessor. It consists of a physical machine on site and access to computing capacity in the cloud – the Pangea@Cloud machine. This supercomputer will be used to support its green energy transition, including the creation of reservoir storage capacity simulations, calculating methane emissions reduction, and for the design and siting of wind farms.
"As yet another demonstration of the company’s pioneer spirit, the latest incarnation of Pangea strengthens our lead in industrial digital simulation. It combines supercomputing capacity with cloud computing, allowing [TotalEnergies] to meet the growing and increasingly diverse needs of our activities, especially in new energies, in order to help grow our business through our energy transition strategy," said Namita Shah, president, OneTech at TotalEnergies.
