Viridien announces strategic initiative to advance HPC for seismic imaging workflows with NVIDIA

The collaboration will focus on optimising 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 minimising 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 customised 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.”
