HPC5 is a computing cluster, or in other words, a set of computers that work together to multiply overall performance. Using this data, the system develops extremely in-depth subsoil models, and on the basis of these, we can determine what is hidden many kilometres below the surface: indeed, this is how we found Zohr, the largest gas field ever discovered in the Mediterranean. The geophysical and seismic information we collect from all over the world is sent to HPC5 for processing. The performance level of this computer means it can use extremely sophisticated in-house algorithms to process subsoil data. Ignoring experimental computers and considering only true supercomputer systems with a consumption level of over 1MW, it has ranked as the second-best computer in the world for energy savings. A single watt of electricity enables it to perform almost twenty billion operations per second. Again in June 2020, it entered the Green500 special list, taking the same position as the world’s sixth most energy efficient supercomputer. It is still the leader among non-governmental computers. In June 2020, it entered the TOP500 list, ranking as the world’s sixth most powerful supercomputer, and the most powerful in Europe.
It is our latest-generation supercomputer. Its full name is High Performance Computing - layer 5. Combined with the supercomputing system in operation since 2018 (HPC4), the peak computational capacity of the infrastructure totals 70 petaFlops: that is, 70 million billion mathematical operations performed in a single second. HPC5 is a set of parallel computing units with a peak processing power of 51.7 petaFlops.
