Acceleware Launches Seismic Product Offering

By DE Editors

Acceleware Corp. (Calgary, Alberta, Canada), a developer of high-performance computing (HPC) applications, launched its seismic data acceleration solution that provides a multi-fold performance increase to reduce lengthy processing times and deliver faster results to make drilling decisions for the oil and gas industry.

The Acceleware software solution harnesses the massively parallel processing (MPP) capabilities of GPU accelerators to dramatically increase the efficiency of data centers and reduce total cost of IT ownership. This technique is designed for 2D and 3D land and marine data where a typical processing job can compute from several days to months and solves a major bottleneck in the seismic processing industry.

Migration is the most common seismic data processing method used to recover subsurface images of the earth's interior using surface-recorded data volumes obtained from seismic reflection surveys. The Acceleware solution directly speeds up the Kirchhoff Pre-Stack Time Migration method as the most expensive component of seismic data processing. By accelerating the computation within this method Acceleware uncovers the potential for increased resolution, faster turn-around and better quality confidence while handling larger datasets of increasing complexity.

By accelerating the computations involved in seismic migration Acceleware uncovers the benefits of more dense packaging and improved economics in power and cooling.
