Abstract
The analysis of present-day parallel computer architectures is done in terms of their fit to processing/imaging seismic data. The classification of processing algorithms is suggested based on their demand for computing power, required physical memory, and a number of traces contributing to each output trace. We discuss the dependence of the optimal computer configuration on the algorithms applied, as well as on the given processing sequences.
