IBM: develops super-computer for Total

(CercleFinance.com) - IBM has announced that it has developed a new industrial supercomputer, Pangea III, the most powerful in the world, for use by Total.


It will help the oil giant to better detect new resources that are underground and better assess the related revenue potential therefrom.

Pangea III has a computing capacity of 25 petaflops (i.e. the equivalent of 130,000 laptops), with a storage capacity of 50 petabytes, which puts it in eleventh place amongst the most powerful computers in the world, whether public or private (TOP500 in June 2019).

It has been designed using the same IBM POWER 9 high-performance architecture, which is optimised for Artificial Intelligence (AI) as that used for the US Department of energy's Summit and Sierra super-computers.
