Viridien, an advanced technology and digital solutions company, has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to transform seismic imaging workflows by leveraging NVIDIA HPC platforms and Viridien’s expertise in Subsurface Imaging technologies and HPC & Cloud Solutions.
The collaboration will focus on optimizing Viridien’s seismic imaging algorithms on NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms, including the integration of advanced techniques such as tensor cores and mixed-precision computing. By working closely together to leverage Viridien’s decades of experience in fully managed HPC solutions for seismic imaging with the power of NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms, the collaboration aims to deliver continued improvements in system performance, imaging accuracy, and operational efficiency for energy and geoscience clients worldwide.
John Josephakis, VP of HPC and Supercomputing, NVIDIA, said: 'By combining NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms and AI with Viridien’s expertise in seismic imaging and HPC, together we are enabling subsurface teams to deliver sharper, more reliable images faster and more cost-effectively. Better imaging reduces uncertainty, improves prospect screening and well placement decisions, and ultimately lowers the cost of exploration by cutting dry hole risk and minimizing the time and compute required to reach decision-grade results.'
Anil Vattalai, SVP, HPC & Cloud Solutions, Viridien, said: 'We are delighted to work with NVIDIA to accelerate the evolution of HPC for seismic imaging. Viridien is the industry leader in subsurface imaging based on our pioneering expertise in industrial and customized end-to-end HPC and over fifteen years of experience in optimizing complex scientific workflows on GPU accelerators. This agreement underscores our commitment to continuously improving our full HPC stack (hardware, software, and algorithms) to deliver advanced HPC and cloud solutions that empower our clients to achieve greater performance and higher-quality outcomes more efficiently.'
Remarkable advances in subsurface imaging powered by Viridien HPC reduce exploration risk and inform better drilling decisions. Viridien continuously optimizes its hardware, software, and algorithms, working with strategic partners to deliver bespoke, industrial-scale compute solutions for seismic imaging.
