ENEA helps researchers power scientific breakthroughs with a liquid-cooled HPC cluster from Lenovo
In Italy, researchers at ENEA are working with international peers to make new discoveries in energy and environmental sustainability. To enable researchers to run larger simulations and analyze bigger datasets, the organization boosts its supercomputing power by 350% with a brand-new cluster built on Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 V3 nodes with Lenovo Neptune® Liquid Cooling.
Customer Problem
With demand for its high-performance computing (HPC) resources on the rise, ENEA needed to support increasingly demanding scientific simulations and AI workloads while improving energy efficiency.
Lenovo Solution
By combining Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 V3 nodes with Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8592+ processors and Lenovo Neptune Liquid Cooling, ENEA gains extreme performance in a dense, energy-efficient footprint.
Business Impact
ENEA has enhanced its HPC capacity by 350% and accelerated research workloads, with fusion codes running five times faster than before. This enables more ambitious scientific research without proportionally increasing energy consumption.
“CRESCO8 will offer all ENEA researchers and research partners the benefits of a next-generation HPC cluster—helping us to respond to the evolving needs of the scientific community, and advance scientific research and innovation in Italy.”
Dr. Giovanni Ponti PhD, Head of Division for Development of Computer Science Systems and ICT, ENEA
Results
- · 350% increase in HPC performance
- · 100% utilization rate
- · 5x faster runtime for fusion codes
