Brief History of Energy HPC (Partial)
As seismic algorithms moved from stacking to migration, RTM, and FWI, compute requirements increased by orders of magnitude.
The Evolution of Seismic (Partial)
Typical seismic projects grew from analog records and megabyte-scale digital surveys to modern 100 TB to multi-petabyte programs.
Workloads and Pipelines (Empty)
Mainframes gave way to vector systems, then distributed-memory clusters, and finally GPU-dense platforms with very high I/O throughput.
