What we have
been doing

2. • H2020-EUB-2-2015: High Performance Computing.
• 2 Million Euro for European partners; 6 Million Reais for Brazilian
partners
“Apply Exascale HPC technology to energy industry simulations”
Wind + Oil and Gas + Biomass

3. Solutions Envisioned
• HPC: Efficient use of the future 100 Petaflops and Exaflop systems.
• WIND ENERGY: Wind farm design and short-term micro-scale wind
simulations to forecast the daily power production and reduce CO2
targets.
• BIOMASS: Predict the performance of different biomass-derived fuels in
practical systems.
• GEOPHYSICS: Obtain detailed images of deep hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Research outcomes are
published in peer-reviewed
journals, disseminated in
congresses and conferences,
and transferred to other EU
and BRA projects related to
energy.

Industrial partners have direct
access to the innovative
ideas and tools of the project
and apply them to their
internal software.
Industry Scientific community
HPC4E is directly related to
obtaining and managing
more efficiently energetic
resources by means of
HPC. In the long run, this
will result in cheaper,
cleaner and safer energy
production.
