Video: Dell EMC Innovation for the Oil & Gas industry
June 7, 2018 by
In this video from the Dell EMC HPC Community Meeting in Austin, David Holmes from Dell EMC describes how the company is bringing technical innovation to the Oil & Gas industry. “We partner strongly with Intel and Nvidia and we take advantage of Intel Xeon scalable processes, Intel Xeon Phi processors, and Nvidia GPUs. And depending on the workloads, different computational requirements will run best on these different platforms. And we’re now able to help companies build this new breed of composable systems, which provide a broad set of resources that can be dynamically assigned to the different workloads that companies want to run.”

Thor Sewell from Intel gave this talk at the Rice Oil & Gas conference. “We are seeing the exciting convergence of artificial intelligence and modeling & simulation workflows as well as the movement towards cloud computing and Exascale. This session will cover these significant trends, the technical challenges that must be overcome, and how to prepare for this next level of computing.”
Video: HPC Reservoir Simulations on AWS with NICE
August 16, 2017 by
In this video, Scott Harrison from Rock Flow Dynamics and Bruno Franzini from NICE Software explain how they scale HPC workloads in the cloud. “You’ll learn how they leverage Amazon EC2 Spot instances and Amazon S3 to create cost-effective, scalable clusters that power tNavigator, Rock Flow Dynamics’ solution for running dynamic reservoir simulations. You’ll also see how they use NICE Software’s DCV to stream the OpenGL-based user interface to interact with 3D models.”
Eni in Italy fires up 5.8 Petaflop HPC3 Cluster for Oil & Gas
April 11, 2017 by
During the first week of April, Eni fired up its new HPC cluster in the Green Data Center in Ferrera Erbognone, Italy. Known as HPC3, the new 5.8 Petaflop cluster will allow Eni to fully support all the activities in the Energy Exploration and Production sector. “The start-up of the new HPC3 supercomputer and its follow-on HPC4 will enable Eni to deploy the most advanced and sophisticated proprietary codes developed by our research for the E&P activities,” said Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi. “These technologies will provide Eni with unprecedented accuracy and resolution in seismic imaging, geological modeling and reservoir dynamic simulation, allowing us to further accelerate overall cycle times in the upstream process and to sustain the E&P performances.”
Emerson Roxar Applies ebb3 Remote Visualization for Oil & Gas
February 22, 2017 by
Today UK-based ebb3 announced that Emerson Automation Solutions is deploying high-performance software for the oil and gas industry virtually using ebb3’s remote visualization technology. “The Roxar reservoir management software has to handle very large models, and many models simultaneously for uncertainty analysis,” Robert Frost, Product Development Manager at Emerson. “The more refined these are, the more graphical processing is required. This is one of the most challenging areas of virtualization, and virtual desktops with the power to support such high-powered graphics are almost unheard of. Along with the platform and partnership services that ebb3 provides, the power they’ve harnessed for virtual access to 3D visualization software is impressive. Being able to keep data in the data centre for fast access without compromising visualization and usability is a huge step forward.”
