IC-2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ISSUES FOR MAKING LARGE CLUSTERS EFFECTIVE IN A PRODUCTION SEISMIC PROCESSING ENVIRONMENT CHRISTOF STORK and BRAD WILSON Exploration Design Software Inc. 11200 Westheimer Suite 250 Houston TX 77042 USA Abstract: 1 During the process of shipping software licenses for 3000 CPUs of clustered PC products over the past 24 months we have looked at a variety of hardware configurations compared Linux with Windows 2000/NT and tested numerous software designs. Costs and performance vary significantly. Some software design issues significantly affect the cost of hardware needed and performance of the hardware. We have concluded that staying with
