Appro Ready-To-Go Cluster with Landmark

Appro Ready-To-Go Cluster Series
Recommended Solution for Halliburton – Seismic Coverage Validation Engine,
Part of Landmark ProMax® Family Seismic Data Processing Software
-- Fully integrated solution based on the Appro GreenBlade™ System
    Check us out at SEG 2010!!!!

Appro’s pre-configured supercomputing solution is pre-tested and certified Intel® Cluster Ready, and it is delivered ready to run Landmark’s new Seismic Coverage Validation tools. This wave equation-based illumination and visibility software helps geoscientists design 3D seismic surveys and select processing parameters optimized for geologic targets in traditionally poorly imaged areas. The software runs on a preconfigured Appro GreenBlade™ system based on Intel® Xeon® processors featuring dual sockets and 32 nodes, with up to 12 CPU cores per node and 8 GB of memory.

Solution Overview
Landmark’s Seismic Coverage Engine is a new suite of wave equation algorithms optimized for today’s high-performance cluster environment. These tools enable the creation of high-value seismic processing workflows designed to maximize an oil company’s investments in seismic acquisition and interpretive imaging, particularly in areas of complex geologic regimes. By validating seismic coverage early in an exploration project, Landmark ensures greater confidence in the accuracy of its depth migrations and velocity models in subsequent interpretation activities.

The Seismic Coverage Engine Solution includes:

• New wave equation approaches for seismic illumination and visibility analysis workflows.
• The Appro GreenBlade 32-node solution delivers superior throughput out of the box.
• The pre-configured and optimized solution is fast and easy to deploy, and is ready to run. The performance of the outstanding algorithm is supported by the excellence of Intel Cluster Ready.
• As computational needs grow, the customer can scale up using the same cluster building-block solution.

Focus on Buying the Right Cluster
Appro’s pre-configured and pre-tested Intel Cluster Ready solution running Landmark’s Seismic Coverage Validation tools takes the complexity out of purchasing an high-performance computing cluster. Configuring a cluster can be a difficult process of choosing components and applications and trying to figure out what pieces work together. Buying Landmark’s Seismic Coverage Engine means this effort is already done and our solution is verified to provide the architecture needed for the application to execute. Buying our solution then helps you focus on getting the right solution based on the type and size of problem you need to solve with the application.
