Eni

Eni is a major multinational energy company headquartered in Italy, active across oil, gas, and increasingly low-carbon and renewable energy initiatives. In recent years, it has invested heavily in digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to improve efficiency and support its energy transition strategy. Its newest supercomputer, HPC6, an AMD Instinct Mi250X-based HPE Cray EX235a, was launched in late 2024 and currently ranks number 6 on the TOP500 list with a peak performance of over 600 petaflops. Located in the company’s Green Data Center in northern Italy, HPC6 is used for tasks ranging from oil and gas exploration to carbon capture simulations, renewable energy research, and advanced battery development, making it central to Eni’s technological and sustainability efforts.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL)

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a US Department of Energy research facility focused primarily on nuclear energy, advanced materials, and energy security, while also working on areas such as grid resilience, cybersecurity, and clean energy systems. Its research relies heavily on high-performance computing to model complex physical processes—especially those related to nuclear reactors, fuels, and materials under extreme conditions. In early 2026, INL deployed its latest supercomputer, Teton, an AMD EPYC-based HPE Cray EX. Delivering 12 petaflops of performance, it is one of the world’s largest CPU-only systems. Teton plays a central role in accelerating innovation in advanced reactor design and energy systems at INL.

NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division

The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division is located at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California. It supports the agency’s most demanding missions, including space exploration, aeronautics, Earth science, and climate modeling. A key part of this capability is its newest flagship supercomputer, Athena, launched in 2026. Athena, an AMD EPYC-powered HPE Cray EX,  has over 20 petaflops of peak performance and is currently the most powerful and energy-efficient system in NASA’s computing portfolio. Housed at the Ames Modular Supercomputing Facility, it is designed to support next-generation workloads across space missions, aeronautics research, and scientific discovery. By enabling larger and more detailed simulations—ranging from rocket design for Artemis missions to Earth system modeling—Athena plays a central role in advancing NASA’s computational capabilities and accelerating innovation in space science and engineering.

National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)

The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) is a US Department of Energy national laboratory focused on critical minerals, energy innovation, and advanced technologies that support the transition to more sustainable and secure energy systems. It conducts research across a wide range of areas, including renewable energy, transportation decarbonization, advanced materials, and artificial intelligence-driven scientific discovery, often working in collaboration with industry, academia, and other national labs. In 2024 it deployed its latest flagship supercomputer, Kestrel, an AMD EPYC and NVIDIA H100-powered HPE Cray XD665 with about 35 petaflops of peak performance. Designed to support large-scale simulations and AI workloads, Kestrel is used for renewable energy modeling, energy efficiency optimization, and advanced materials research.

Digitális Kormányzati Fejlesztés és Projektmenedzsment Kft. (DKF)

The Digitális Kormányzati Fejlesztés és Projektmenedzsment Kft (DKF) is a Hungarian government-owned organization that plays a central role in advancing Hungary’s digital transformation, supporting public administration, businesses, and citizens through large-scale IT and innovation projects. It manages and implements national and EU-funded programs aimed at improving digital infrastructure, developing digital skills, and promoting technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and HPC. Since 2025, it has taken over the National Supercomputer Program and operates the country’s HPC infrastructure, including the AMD EPYC and NVIDIA A100-powered HPE Cray EX, Komondor, currently Hungary’s most powerful supercomputer. DKF is now preparing to host a new EuroHPC system called Levente, which will boast more than 23 petaflops of performance and enhanced AI capabilities. Levente is part of a larger EuroHPC strategy to strengthen Europe’s AI leadership and technological sovereignty, alongside other machines like Arrhenius in Sweden and HammerHAI in Germany.
