(TSXV: AXE), a leading\ndeveloper of high performance computing applications, today announced the\navailability of Acceleware AxKTM(TM), an application library that enables\nusers of 3D Pre-Stack Time Migration (PSTM) solutions to easily access the\nmulti-fold performance benefits of today's leading GPUs (Graphic Processor\nUnits). This release expands Acceleware's high performance computing platform\nto provide commercial software vendors with the solutions needed to rapidly\ndeliver required processing power for the world's most compute intensive\nseismic applications.\n\n\n"Releasing AxKTM for seismic data processing is another step in\nAcceleware's commitment to enriching our software platform for application\nvendors striving to deliver disruptive value through advancements in\nmulti-core computing hardware," said Sean Krakiwsky, CEO of Acceleware.\n\n\nThe AxKTM product delivers a robust software toolkit for commercial\nseismic vendors and software developers to easily integrate with the\nAcceleware platform for speeding up PSTM data processing solutions. The\nAcceleware platform provides a direct link for developers to the latest\nmulti-core hardware solutions required to process the enormous data sets\ninherent with migration techniques. AxKTM combined with GPU accelerators can\ndeliver a significant increase in computing performance while reducing power\nconsumption, cooling needs and data center footprint. Together, these factors\ncreate a compelling price to performance ratio for customers facing the\nincreasing costs of computing processing power.\n\n\n"The use of GPUs for running large seismic migrations enables users to\nsignificantly consolidate massive amounts of processing power while reducing\nthe need for additional infrastructure upgrades," commented Wilf Kruggel,\nDirector, Techco Geophysical Services Ltd.\n\n\nMore processing performance also reduces workflow congestion and waiting\ntimes, for seismic analysts struggling to meet deadlines for interpreting\nseismic information. Datasets that normally take weeks to run on conventional\nplatforms can be shortened to days with Acceleware, making it possible for\ngeophysicists to produce mo...
