Abstract
This paper presents Pre-Stack PRO as a commercial HPC application in the field of the oil & gas industry. After a short introduction to seismic data in general, the paper presents the basic ideas behind Pre-Stack PRO and shows the way it helps customers, improve the way they used to work with seismic data. A closer view to the architecture of Pre-Stack PRO reveals the several levels or parallelization within the software as well as the idea of global collaboration using a single dedicated Pre-Stack PRO cluster from all over the world. Finally some of the fundamentals of Pre-Stack PRO are presented, such as the GPI, the 3D visualization engine and the parallel filesystem.
