Supercomputing and Energy for Mexico

Project description

Europe and Mexico collaborate on exascale computing

High-performance computing involves thousands of processors working in parallel to analyse data in real time, performing calculations thousands of times faster than a normal computer. Industries are increasingly relying on supercomputers to work on innovative solutions, reduce costs, and decrease time to market for products and services. The EU-funded ENERXICO project is working on developing high-performance simulation tools to modernise the energy industry in Mexico. The new tools will be used in exascale computers to address crucial challenges in the oil and gas industry – upstream, midstream and downstream, and the wind energy industry. The project offers the energy industries in the EU and Mexico the opportunity to strengthen ties.

Objective

This project is going to apply exascale HPC techniques to different energy industry simulations of critical interest for Mexico. ENERXICO will give solutions for oil & gas industry in upstream, midstream and downstream problems, wind energy industry and combustion efficiency for transportation. This project brings together the main stakeholders of the energy industry in Mexico and European energy companies working at the Mexican market, jointly with the main European HPC company. The main objectives of the project are: - to develop beyond the state of the art high performance simulation tools that can help the modernization of the mexican energy industry and are also of interest for european companies. These simulation tools should be ready to be used in exascale computers that are in the roadmap of european IT companies. - to improve the cooperation between industries from EU and Mexico. - to improve the cooperation between the leading research groups in EU and Mexico

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
