The president of the Gironde department, Jean-Luc Gleyze (PS), proudly poses in front of Qarnot's famous QRad QH1 radiator, which actually integrates a complete PC (without graphic part) to perform calculations that can then be sold in the cloud. The total cost of the construction of the entire building is 15 million euros.
The computing power was sold to the BNP bank and equalizes the heating costs that would otherwise be incurred, because in response to several crisis scenarios, BNP wants to carry out long-term risk simulations of the financial situation. A profitable business for both sides, because these simulations are mandatory and are increasingly needed. BNP has decided to realize 1/4 of the calculation requirement via Qarnot.
