TotalEnergies presented today the new generation of their supercomputer Pangea 4 at the Jean Féger Scientific and Technical Center in Pau, southwest France. Initially developed to support the company’s exploration and production activities, the new Pangea is now available for use in all areas of TotalEnergies and is dedicated to the energy transition.
Supporting TotalEnergies’ Energy Transition with Scientific Supercomputing
Pangea 4 has been designed to meet the needs of TotalEnergies’ new activities, including:
Simulations of wind flow for the design and location of wind farms.
Storage capacity simulations in relation to carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects.
Calculations for methane emissions reduction.
Where Supercomputing Meets Energy Efficiency
Pangea 4 is a hybrid solution that combines on-site computing with cloud computing. Its 24/7 calculation speed is double that of the previous version, and it is more compact and energy-efficient, using nearly 90% less electricity. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of TotalEnergies’ data centers, maintaining maximum performance for digital simulations.
“As a further demonstration of the company’s pioneering spirit, the latest version of Pangea strengthens our leadership in industrial digital simulation. It combines supercomputing power with cloud computing, enabling the company to meet the growing and increasingly diverse needs of our activities, especially in new energies, to help grow our business through our energy transition strategy,” said Namita Shah, President of OneTech at TotalEnergies.
