Accelerate Time to Value With Energy AI and HPC Infrastructure Solutions

Done properly, adoption of GPU-accelerated computing can offer energy, oil and gas firms significant return on investment (ROI) today and pave the way to gain additional advantage from future technical developments.

Let's Talk

Consumption Needs

Meeting growing energy consumption needs, finding new sources of oil and gas, managing compliance, and balancing sustainability and renewable energy solutions—while needing greater insights and actionable data—create significant challenges for this industry.

Data-Driven Business

Optimal data is needed to predict, manage, and optimize exploration and production operations. Derived Insights from petabytes of sensor, geolocation, weather, drilling, and seismic data is needed in milliseconds for better informed decision-making.

Robust AI Platforms

As one of the most data-intensive industries in modern business, energy companies require robust compute platforms to produce accurate models and complex simulations to accelerate discovery, mitigate risks and speed time to profit.

Shell Powers High-Performance, Sustainable Data Centers With Immersion Cooling

Digital transformation is sweeping industries worldwide driving exponential growth in data and creating a huge demand for computing power to crunch massive datasets. At the same time, such massive computing power requires innovative power and cooling solutions to meet sustainability goals.

Switching to lower-carbon and renewable electricity reduces the carbon footprint. But data centers must also reduce the amount of power required for effective server cooling to make a significant environmental impact—particularly as data centers continue to grow and expand.

Shell’s Houston data center was already designed for energy efficiency, drawing from 100% renewable power supplied by Shell Energy North America, supporting their high-priority agenda of sustainability. The challenge for Shell’s HPC team continued to be how to drive down its Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratio while simultaneously boosting performance.

As industries continue to grow their data footprints and associated energy needs, immersion cooling offers a significant breakthrough in heat mitigation that can support both business and sustainability goals.

Penguin Solutions offers innovative cooling solutions, including direct to chip, liquid cooling, and immersion—reducing energy costs and supporting your sustainability goals. Contact us today to discuss your data center's needs.

In Pursuit of AI

Advanced Computing for
Energy, Oil and Gas

Until now, the abundance of research and simulation data has hindered the extraction of business value. However, the improvements in compute technology takes the data-related challenges that had, until recently, been considered impossible to overcome and transforms them into actionable insights, financial gain, and competitive advantage.

  • A major business priority in the oil and gas industry today is to improve the ROI of exploration. Many industry firms have found that they can dramatically reduce model processing cycle times and get sharper images of region-of-interest datasets via GPU-accelerated computing.

    As a result, they now have more effective lease bidding, improved prospects for successful drilling, optimized well placement, increased drilling hit rates for striking oil, and much faster time to market.

  • Oil and gas companies can train models and use AI machine learning (ML) algorithms in many ways, including to determine the best way to save money, improve efficiency, and increase safety.

    It can help them adjust operations as conditions change or extrapolate the value of the huge volumes of underground reservoirs by analyzing small rock core samples. These algorithms also increase prediction capability while also removing the risk of human error during complex calculations. In addition, machine learning techniques are also more repeatable and reliable than human interpretation.

  • Solar and wind energy farm

    “The power of collaborations like the one we celebrate with Penguin, AMD and Shell is in not only demonstrating that immersion cooling is a viable solution for data centers, but also in how we can leverage technology in a way that supports both business and sustainability goals.”

    Customer Success Story

    Sandia National Laboratories Partners with NextSilicon and Penguin Solutions

    Sandia National Laboratories, leading a tri-lab consortium with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), partnered with NextSilicon Inc. and Penguin Solutions to deliver the next Advanced Architecture Prototype System (AAPS). These prototype systems are an important part of the National Nuclear Security Administrations (NNSA) platform strategy.

    Sandia has partnered with Penguin since 2010, delivering testbeds for Sandia’s Advanced Architecture Testbed program. For the AAPS project, Penguin took on the task of integrating this ‘first of its kind’ device into a high-density Open Compute Platform (OCP) form factor.

    The resulting racks will be liquid cooled using a Chilldyne liquid cooling system, which will improve data center energy efficiency. Penguin’s ability to accomplish complex integration of today’s bleeding-edge technologies has been demonstrated by their proven track record of successful deployments.
