- Twinscie – A Digital Twin for Analyzing the Integrity of Oil Platform Mooring Systems. Petrobras (2022-2025). This project with LNCC and Inria Zenith aims to develop a digital twin to monitor the integrity of the mooring systems, which Petrobras uses to anchor oil platforms. The system based on Gypscie integrates a series of machine learning models that process data on platform positioning, identifying deviations from expected movement patterns. Sensors installed on the platforms provide real-time data, which is processed continuously by the system. The models’ output is stored and leveraged by the digital twin application to assist in decision-making, enhancing platform safety and operational reliability.
- H2020 RISC2 project 2021-2023. A coordination network for High Performance Computing (HPC) between Europe and Latin America, funded by the European H2020 FETHPC program and the partner countries. The consortium was managed by Barcelona Computing Center and had eight main European HPC actors, including Inria Zenith and Atos Bull, and the main HPC actors from Brazil, including LNCC, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Chile. The main project deliverable was a cooperation roadmap aimed at policymakers, the scientific community and industry, identifying key application areas, HPC infrastructure and policy requirements, and exploring ways for the activities established during the project to last beyond its lifetime.
- H2020 High Performance Computing for Energy (HPC4E) 2015-2017. The project was led by Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and included Inria, Lancaster University, Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas Medioambientales y Tecnológicas, Repsol, Iberdrola Renovables Energía, and Total in Europe, and COPPE/UFRJ, LNCC, ITA, UFRGS, UFP and Petrobras. The project aimed at improving the usage of energy using HPC tools by acting at many levels of the energy chain for different energy sources (wind, biomass-derived fuels and renewable fuels). It produced major results that were transferred to the industrial partners. The project also improved the cooperation between energy industries from EU and Brazil and between the leading research centres in EU and Brazil in HPC applied to energy industry.
