Stanford Earth Sciences Algorithms and Architectures Initiative (SESAAI)

Research

Research Activities

The goals of SESAAI are to:

  • Evaluate modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) architectures for reservoir-simulation and seismic-imaging algorithms.
  • Develop new algorithms that take advantage of modern HPC architectures.
  • Develop "data streaming" abstractions that facilitate efficient porting of reservoir-simulation and seismic-imaging codes to modern HPC architectures.

  • Influence the future technological offering by Information Technology (IT) companies to better meet needs of reservoir-simulation and seismic-imaging algorithms.

     

*The Stanford Earth Sciences Algorithms and Architectures Initiative (SESAAI) will use and develop open-source software, and it is the intention of SESAAI that any software will be released under an open source model. *
