Acceleware Speeds Up Search for Oil & Gas with GPUs
Posted by Julie Morgan, Tuesday May 13 2008 @ 12:03PM EDT

Acceleware® Corp. (TSXV: AXE), a leading developer of high performance computing (HPC) applications, today announced the availability of Acceleware AxKTM™, an application library that enables users of 3D Pre-Stack Time Migration (PSTM) solutions to easily access the multi-fold performance benefits of today’s leading GPUs (Graphic Processor Units). This release expands Acceleware’s HPC platform to provide commercial software vendors with the solutions needed to rapidly deliver required processing power for the world’s most compute intensive seismic applications. Acceleware will be demonstrating AxKTM this week at the 2008 C3GEO Convention in Calgary, booth #919.

“Releasing AxKTM for seismic data processing is another step in Acceleware’s commitment to enriching our software platform for application vendors striving to deliver disruptive value through advancements in multi-core computing hardware,” said Sean Krakiwsky, CEO of Acceleware.

The AxKTM product delivers a robust software toolkit that allows commercial seismic vendors and software developers to easily integrate with the Acceleware platform for speeding up PSTM data processing solutions. The Acceleware platform provides a direct link for developers to the latest multi-core hardware solutions required to process the enormous data sets inherent with migration techniques. When combined with GPU accelerators, AxKTM can deliver a significant increase in computing performance while reducing power consumption, cooling needs and data center footprint – offering a compelling price to performance ratio for customers facing the increasing costs of computing processing power.

“The use of GPUs for running large seismic migrations enables users to significantly consolidate massive amounts of processing power while reducing the need for additional infrastructure upgrades,” commented Wilf Kruggel, Director, Techco Geophysical Services Ltd.

More processing performance also reduces workflow congestion and waiting times, for seismic analysts struggling to meet deadlines for interpreting seismic information. Datasets that normally take weeks to run on conventional platforms can be shortened to days with Acceleware, making it possible for geophysicists to produce more accurate seismic images faster. To achieve these results, AxKTM uses the award-winning CUDA C- language development environment from NVIDIA to attain maximum performance from the GPU hardware.

To view a demo of this solution from Acceleware, please visit booth #919 at C3GEO Convention this week. For more information about C3GEO, visit: http://www.geoconvention.org/

Availability

AxKTM will be available for purchase directly from Acceleware June 2008. For more information on Acceleware’s AxKTM product, please visit http://www.acceleware.com
