How supercomputing can help addressing energy challenges

The HPC for Energy (HPC4E) project presents a short video on the societal challenges faced in energy production and consumption and how exascale supercomputing helps addressing them.

date:  30/11/2016

The HPC4E project aims to apply the new exascale High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques to energy industry simulations, customizing them, and going beyond the state-of-the-art in the required HPC exascale simulations for different energy sources: wind energy production and design, efficient combustion systems for biomass-derived fuels (biogas), and exploration geophysics for hydrocarbon reservoirs.

The HPC4E project has been co-funded by H2020 and Brazil, under a specific topic call aimed at the development of state-of-the-art HPC environment that efficiently exploits the HPC resources in both the EU and Brazil and advances the work on HPC applications in domains of common interest.
