In this video, Dr. Norm Uren and Dr. Matt Lamont describe how seismic processing with HPC is used to find new oil and gas resources. As reported here on insideHPC, DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) is making great leaps in performance using the Intel Xeon Phi.

We’ve already started to see dramatic improvements in turn-around times when we compare our upgraded machines to those without co-processors. Our time migration now runs more than 10 times faster. Our depth migration runs six times faster. DUG has also seen its Reverse Time Migration (RTM) run significantly faster through this new technology,” said Dr. Matt Lamont, DUG’s managing director.
