 CGG Geocluster for IBM BladeCenter JS21
Delivers low-cost, compute-intensive solutions to support oil and gas exploration
| | |
- Provides outstanding workload balancing and flexible hardware management to expedite seismic data processing
- Processes large-volume modern datasets through intensive workflows for all kinds of seismic data (2D, 3D, 4D, and multi-component data)
- Delivers exceptional performance for functions exploiting the built-in AltiVec™ vector processing feature
- Improved energy savings of IBM BladeCenter® along with reduced space-up to 336 cores in a single 42U rack 1
The global demand for energy continues to grow, and the need to discover new oil reserves and further delineate existing reserves has become increasingly urgent. In this constantly changing environment, you need to get the most out of your investment while maintaining a high level of service for geosciences engineering and research teams. To help meet these demands, CGG and IBM offer a high-performance clustered solution that delivers teraflops of processing power and handles terabytes of seismic reflection data to meet ever expanding 2D, 3D and 4D seismic requirements.
- CGG Geocluster for IBM BladeCenter JS21 supports the following standard and optional solution components*:
-
- CGG Geocluster application software, a broad portfolio of advanced geoscience software systems, that:
-
- Is tuned for seismic applications such as deconvolution and multiple suppression operations
- Improves signal-to-noise quality and the lateral expression of seismic data
- Dramatically improves calculations, reducing the processing time for seismic data while delivering better image quality
- Significantly improves oil field management for the oil companies
- IBM BladeCenter JS21 provides a flexible and affordable infrastructure for CGG Geocluster application software which can help:
-
- Lower total risk/return ratio for seismic exploration through leadership performance enabled by exploiting the built-in AltiVec SIMD vector processor
- Offer a scalable solution to allow users to start small and easily expand
- Achieve high availability through scalability and proven RAS features
- Deliver tera-flops of processing power and handle tera-bytes of seismic reflection to meet both 2D and 3D seismic requirements
1For BladeCenter H chassis, the maximum cores per 42U rack is 224.
2CGG components are not available from IBM.
