Challenge DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Customer DownUnder GeoSolutions is an innovative geosciences company with a diverse range of capabilities. Their products and services are at the cutting edge of exploration and production services to the global oil and gas industry.
Solution DUG deployed SGI Rackable cluster powered by Intel coprocessors and Intel Xeon processor. DUG was able to scale its software to the latest highly parallel architecture for faster seismic processing and imaging while enhancing algorithmic gains in existing software.
Data Collected Seismic processing data, including Kirchhoff migrations, reverse time migrations, data interpolation, 3D surface-related multiple elimination
Solution Type IT Solution Maturity Cutting Edge (technology has been on the market for < 2 years)
