CGGVeritas in collaboration with GeoLeader in Russia is glad to announce the release of Geocluster5000. Software for processing of seismic data Geocluster works on PC platform with possibility of unification in clusters under OS Linux with a name GEOCLUSTER

You can choose number of nodes (and processors) and get a very powerful center of seismic processing (no CPU limits) at low price.Please pay attention to example. If you are interested in our offer and wish to get a more detailed description, you can simply send your request to:

Geocluster is made up of three major components:

• the processing nucleus: Geocluster
• the interactive environment
• the operating environment: Job Manager

The processing nucleus contains more then 400 program modules covering 2D and 3D (for both land and marine) as well as VSP processing.

Geocluster has been optimized for each supported hardware platform through the use of manufacturers scientific libraries and proprietary adaptations to the hardware, especially in the domain of I/O.

Three modes for parallel processing are available in Geocluster:

• Job splitting: a given job is split in several sections to be run concurrently on different CPUs.
• Data flow splitting: the same sequence of modules is applied simultaneously to several groups of traces (for example, consecutive shotpoints).
• Parallelized algorithms: applies only to a limited number of algorithms, mostly pre- or post-stack migrations. They are designed to run on SMP servers and/or PC clusters. This domain is today a major area of development at CGGVeritas.

The comprehensive interactive environment consists of general purpose tools (job flow building, seismic data analysis, auxiliary data manipulation and QC) and task specific tools (velocity analysis, refraction statics, and so on).

Geocluster Job Manager is a new multi-machine environment that has been designed to optimize job distribution across heterogeneous networks of UNIX machines. It takes full advantage of available computer resources by automatically assigning jobs to the hardware that is best suited to each application in terms of peripherals, computing power and workload. Job Managers set-up can be easily modified to take into account system upgrades. This allows the users hardware configuration to evolve over time, giving optimum flexibility in management of computer resources.

When appropriate links exist between several processing centers, jobs can be submitted remotely using the same procedures as for local execution. A typical use of this facility is the remote execution of CPU-intensive seismic jobs which the local hardware is unable to handle. After execution, output lists and plots are automatically routed back to the original site. Similarly, remote plotting can be done, allowing, for example, plotting of seismic results to be carried out a remote processing center.
