Writing on an Oracle blog (1501), Melinda McDade provides some benchmark information from trials of Halliburton/ Landmark's ProMax seismic processing application running on a Sun cluster. The test was run on with 48 X6275 server blades running in a Sun 6048 modular system connected by QDR Infiniband to a Lustre file system. The main tests involved scalability with increasing node count. For 3D prestack Kirchhoff time migration of a 71k trace dataset a 144x improvement was achieved going from 1 to 72 nodes. On a larger 283k trace volume, a 98x improvement was observed going from 1 to 96 nodes.
