IC-3 HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING - A VIEW OF THE NEW ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE JOHN WATTS Abstract: 1 IBM UK Ltd 76 Upper Ground London SE1 9PZ UK The computational resource deployed for geophysical applications is now showing markedly different patterns of use across applications varying from extremely data-intensive to extremely compute-intensive - and all points in-between. When considering compute platforms to run these applications the costs and trade-offs that have to be made create an 'economic landscape' that constrains and directs industry choices and the previously familiar landscape is now being radically altered by the advent of open source software and
