White Papers

• AMD Opteron™ Processors for Reservoir Simulation
  With AMD Opteron™ processor-based server clusters, oil companies and oilfield service companies can improve their energy exploration and production performance.
• Adopting a New Standard for ERM in the Energy Sector
  Rapid changes within this sector have led energy market participants to refocus on enterprise risk management (ERM). Many are adopting a new standard for ERM intelligence based on accurate actionable data, calculations and knowledge that are updated in as close to real time as events occur.
• New Economics of Visualization in Oil and Gas
  This solution has the potential to dramatically change the dynamics of this market by offering Exploration and Production (E&P) companies an opportunity to replace their expensive immersive 3D-visualization facilities with new solutions that offer similar performance at a fraction of the cost.
• Power in the Data Center: Oil & Gas Industry
  Energy companies that rely upon seismic information to extract increasingly difficult-to-reach reserves are demanding higher levels of compute power to process multi-terabyte data sets. Yet many are finding that the needed horsepower will not fit within the thermal envelope of their existing data centers. To meet strict business mandates and leverage existing investments, new solutions must be found that deliver more performance per watt.
