Cluster to Grid Computing• More Computing&Storage resources to solve

complex problems such as full wave equation in complex earth models

• To optimize IT infrastructure• Load balancing between CGG Processing Centres• Smoothing peaks of production (+- 15 Tflops today, 50? in 2006)• Service continuity • Better fault tolerant system and applications

• To share and acquire knowledge• Best practices and programming models

EGEODE

« Expanding Geosciences On Demand »

Part of Earth Sciences Initiative (Monique Petitdidier)In collaboration with Earth Sciences Research (ESR) Virtual Organization

Expanding Geosciences On DemandDominique Thomas - CGG

« Expanding Geosciences On Demand »

Community:

Virtual Organization to share IT resources and best-practices. Opened to all Research centers in environmental geophysics from both Industrial (public-private) and Academic world, working on two critical issues: Energy for today and tomorrow, and CO2.

EGEODE 

Expanding Geosciences On DemandDominique Thomas - CGG

Seismic processing Generic Platform:

- Based on Geocluster, an industrial application

- Include several standard tools for signal processing, simulation and inversion (model optimization).

- Open: any user can write new algorithms in new modules (shared or not)

- Free for academic research

- Controlled by license keys (opportunity to explore license issue at a grid level)

- Initial partners F, CH, NL, Russia

Geophysics is a key technology for earth sciences, it shares and complements requirements of actual EGEE applications. "Geophysics" community is large (thousands of researchers) but very scattered.

Capability to solve complex problems and to validate innovative algorithms on real size data sets

Close the gap between Research and Industrial environment

Attract and keep brightest researchers

Framework for Industry/Research collaboration

EGEODE: Added Value
