HP Server Cluster Meets the High Demands of Oil Exploration Simulations

Overview Total is the fourth largest oil and gas company in the world and its researchers at Total E&P UK in Scotland are constantly seeking and evaluating new fields in the North Sea. Computer simulation plays a key role but these simulations have huge appetites for processing power. To meet these demands, Total needs to provide definitive high performance hardware platforms. Seeking to improve on the performance of its old DELL workstation cluster, the company approached HP who brought its specialist partner, OCSL, into play. OCSL designed and built a new high performance cluster with an HP ProLiant DL385 headnode and eight HP ProLiant DL145 processing nodes linked by a Gigabit backbone attached to an Ethernet network.
