Viridien Embarking on Era as a Diversified Technology Leader

Paris, France | Jul 9, 2024

In this exclusive interview with AI Magazine and Technology Magazine, Agnès Boudot, EVP, HPC & Cloud Solutions, discussed her decades of HPC experience and how Viridien harnesses over 70 years of pioneering industrial computing at scale in its global network of HPC hubs.

"As CGG, we supported the energy industry for more than 90 years. Today, as Viridien, we continue this focus while growing new businesses in markets beyond energy.”

In addition, Agnes shared insights on making the right choices about the new technologies deployed in Viridien's HPC labs to fully test and evaluate the next generations of compute technology and provide this approach to other clients in different industries.

"This begins with demonstrating the value of our expertise and technologies, and showing that fundamentally the solutions that we have developed for our energy clients address the same challenges faced by many other industries. These include the size of data volumes, the complexity of the modelling and simulations performed, as well as implementing AI at scale.”

Focusing on the topic of sustainable HPC and AI, Agnes also shared updates on Viridien's commitment to reducing carbon intensity from end-to-end, from code optimization through to choice of hardware.
