Integrated interactive framework for the prestack interpretation arena

Creating an arena for interactive collaboration between geology and geophysics has for some time been identified as a field for strengthening seismic exploration. The set objective was always to release the synergies of combining these two fields of expertise. The challenges faced in providing an arena capable of true interactivity have historically limited the options for real time processing. Over the last few years there have been several publications on interactive migration, indicating that interactive processing is scalable within the current standards of production high performance computing (HPC) configurations. In this article we will present a scalable framework of visualization and interactive processing only limited to available combined memory of a HPC installation and high-speed interconnect. This in addition to interpretation software and visualization capabilities, define the hardware of an interactive prestack interpretation arena <br>
