Seismic Interpretation is the extraction of subsurface geologic information from seismic data. Due to the large data volumes and a move to 3D seismic interpretation, end users typically require high-spec workstations with 3D graphics cards and large, high-resolution monitors to make the most efficient use of the expensive data and machines. High latency in the responsiveness of manipulating and rendering the image on screen often results in a poor geoscientist user experience. We will demonstrate how users can relieve these pain points using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol that provides customers with a secure way to deliver remote desktops and application streaming from any cloud or data center to any device, over varying network conditions. With NICE DCV and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)—which provides secure and resizable compute capacity for virtually any workload—customers can run graphics-intensive applications remotely on Amazon EC2 instances and stream their user interfaces to simpler client machines, reducing the need for expensive, dedicated workstations.
