Energy

In today’s energy driven society, the search for fossil fuels is an important area for the energy market. This market makes heavy use of computation for seismic data acquisition, reservoir and depth migration simulations and data management.

Additionally, research laboratories and universities are exploring alternative fuels.  Fusion research is particularly dependent on solving large-scale problems that can only be efficiently run on scalable supercomputing resources.

The Cray XT5 MPP system, with is scalability from hundreds to thousands of nodes and powerful I/O performance, is an excellent platform for the computational and data driven simulations in this market.
