Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes245 views
The document presents trends in high-performance computing (HPC) for seismic exploration, indicating a modest overall growth of 3.5% to 8%. It highlights advancements in resource consolidation, cloud computing, and the continued significance of Moore's Law, while noting slower than expected adoption of virtual computing. The presentation also recognizes the dominance of specific processors and the importance of addressing data movement and value in seismic computing.

- 3. Mostly flat for seismic computing Overall HPC growth about 3.5% - 8% depending on who you listen to (IDC, Gartner and Intersect360) Resource Consolidation Virtual or Remote computing is much better than it was just a year ago but adoption is still slower than expected October 2015SHPCP Technical Presentation at SEG 2015

- 6. Moore’s Law is still alive and well. Probably for the next 10 years (Intel) 2016 release of Xeon Phi Knight’s Landing Nvidia continues to dominate (for now) IBM OpenPOWER Specialty processors (FPGA, Automata, TI, others) Virtualization (VMware, Docker) Scale-up (Cray, ScaleMP, SGI) October 2015SHPCP Technical Presentation at SEG 2015

Caveats, Credits & Thank You “It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.” Funk’s Law – “A million of anything, is a lot.” Denham’s Addendum – “A billion of anything is a whole lot.” “Originality is the act of forgetting where you heard it.” – Gallagher Scott Denham – Cray Computers Earl Dodd – Ideas & Machines Addison Snell – Intersect360 Research Deepak Khosla – X-ISS Benzi Galili – ScaleMP Kim Haws – Intel Stephen Wheat - HP Others who wisely chose to remain anonymous October 2015SHPCP Technical Presentation at SEG 2015
