Hadoop and Seismic Data Processing
Geophysicists have been pushing the limits of high-performance computing for more than three decades; they were early adopters of the first Cray supercomputers as well as the massively parallel Connection Machine. Today, the most challenging seismic data processing tasks are performed on custom compute clusters that take advantage of multiple GPUs per node, high-performance networking and storage systems for fast data access.
How many fields we’ve never heard of have handcrafted over years their own solutions to deal with big data that would fit so nicely in Hadoop today?
