Conversion to IBM and Sun Platforms Quadruples Effective Servers, Increases Speed
HOUSTON, TX, October 2001– R7 Solutions today announced the completion of an enterprise software development project to convert and upgrade the code underlying the world-class reservoir simulator of a Super Major energy company based in Houston, Texas.
The client, considered a global leader in sophisticated reservoir simulation technology, engaged R7 Solutions to perform a platform conversion and in the process, dramatically increase the power and scalability of its industry-leading simulation software.
Reservoir simulation software is essential for analyzing geophysical data collected by oil and gas companies. The software is used to decide where and how to drill for oil and gas and to help predict what results to anticipate. The client’s reservoir simulation software analyzes an array of factors, including budgeting and planning, to produce detailed and highly accurate predictions essential for economic return on exploration and production projects.
R7 Solutions converted the software from a Unix SGI platform to an IBM and Sun Microsystems platforms while retaining backwards compatibility with prior installations Additionally, R7’s conversion laid the foundation for porting the system to Linux at a later date.
R7’s project also enabled parallel, multiprocessor computation, dramatically increasing the performance of the software. These modifications effectively quadrupled the number of effective servers in a single simulation cluster, enabling as many as 32 CPUs to run on a single server. This solution leveraged the client’s existing investment without introducing new hardware or additional costs.
