AMD GPUO­pen Fuels Seis­mic Super­com­pu­ting Efforts for Geo­sci­ence Lea­der CGG with Open Source Soft­ware and AMD Fire­Pro GPUs

 

— CGG speeds ener­gy rese­arch using AMD GPUO­pen to move to open source and power more than 1 Peta­FLOPS using AMD Fire­Pro™ S9150 GPUs —

 

Sun­ny­va­le, CA — March 2, 2016 — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced that CGG, a pio­nee­ring glo­bal geo­phy­si­cal ser­vices and equip­ment com­pa­ny, has deploy­ed AMD Fire­Pro™ S9150 ser­ver GPUs to acce­le­ra­te its geo­sci­ence oil and gas rese­arch efforts, harnes­sing more than 1 Peta­FLOPS of GPU pro­ces­sing power. Employ­ing AMD’s HPC GPU Com­pu­ting soft­ware tools available on GPUOpen.com, CGG rapidly con­ver­ted its in-house Nvi­dia CUDA code to Open­CL™ for seis­mic data pro­ces­sing run­ning on an AMD Fire­Pro™ S9150 GPU pro­duc­tion clus­ter, enab­ling fast, cost-effec­ti­ve GPU-powered research.

“The instal­la­ti­on of the lar­ge AMD GPU pro­duc­tion clus­ter at CGG is a gre­at exam­p­le of how AMD’s tech­no­lo­gy pro­wess in both HPC GPU hard­ware and in open source soft­ware tools com­bi­ned to deli­ver incre­di­ble results,” said Bri­an Ree­ves, seni­or direc­tor, pro­duct manage­ment, AMD Pro­fes­sio­nal Gra­phics. “Ener­gy rese­arch is a deman­ding and time-inten­si­ve task that stands to rea­li­ze signi­fi­cant bene­fits from the use of GPU com­pu­ta­ti­on. GPUO­pen soft­ware tools cou­pled with AMD Fire­Pro S‑series hard­ware enables an effi­ci­ent and cost-effec­ti­ve solu­ti­on for rapid data pro­ces­sing that can dri­ve tre­men­dous com­pe­ti­ti­ve advantage.”

“We are very plea­sed with the inno­va­ti­ve col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween CGG and AMD espe­ci­al­ly in the effi­ci­en­cy of con­ver­ting CUDA to Open­CL as a dyna­mic solu­ti­on for pro­ces­sing data,” said Jean-Yves Blanc, chief IT archi­tect, CGG. “Our rese­arch depends on the relia­ble and pre­cise results deli­ver­ed by the AMD Fire­Pro S9150 GPU pro­duc­tion clus­ter – the per­for­mance per watt plus the lar­ge GPU memo­ry sup­port was espe­ci­al­ly bene­fi­ci­al. We look for­ward to working with the Rade­on™ Open Com­pu­te run­time, dri­ver and tools to bring new capa­bi­li­ties to geo­phy­si­cal soft­ware which is an inte­gral part of our company’s geo­sci­ence solu­ti­ons for oil and gas projects.”

AMD Fire­Pro S9150 GPU features:

  • Mas­si­ve mul­ti-GPU clus­ters: Sup­port for AMD open source libra­ri­es and relia­bly sup­port lar­ge mul­ti-GPU clus­ters to address lar­ge com­pu­ta­tio­nal pro­jects that requi­re more than 1 Peta­FLOPS of GPU pro­ces­sing power.
  • Fast Fou­rier Trans­form com­pu­te sup­port: Sup­port for clFFT open source and tun­ed libra­ry con­tai­ning Fast Fou­rier Trans­form func­tions for opti­mal effi­ci­en­cy with AMD Fire­Pro™ S‑series products.
  • Basic Line­ar Alge­bra Sub­pro­grams com­pu­te sup­port: Sup­port for clB­LAS open source and tun­ed libra­ry con­tai­ning sin­gle and dou­ble pre­cis­i­on line­ar alge­bra func­tions for opti­mal effi­ci­en­cy with AMD Fire­Pro S‑series products.
  • Lea­ding ener­gy-effi­ci­en­cy for high-per­for­mance GPU com­pu­ting: AMD Fire­Pro S9150 was reco­gni­zed as the #1 posi­ti­on on the Green500 list — Nov 2014 as the GPU-based solu­ti­on for unmat­ched com­pu­te per­for­mance and ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy in HPC.

 

The Rade­on Open Com­pu­te plat­form, as a key part of GPUO­pen, is com­pri­sed of seve­ral com­pon­ents based on open stan­dards and exten­ded fea­tures that reve­al important hard­ware capa­bi­li­ties. GPUO­pen sup­ports port­ing to Open­CL with sup­port by AMD and the open source com­mu­ni­ty, and expo­ses inno­va­ti­ve open source solu­ti­ons inclu­ding the Hete­ro­ge­neous Com­pu­te Com­pi­ler and HIP API.

About AMD

For more than 45 years AMD has dri­ven inno­va­ti­on in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, gra­phics, and visua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies ― the buil­ding blocks for gam­ing, immersi­ve plat­forms, and the dat­a­cen­ter. Hundreds of mil­li­ons of con­su­mers, lea­ding For­tu­ne 500 busi­nesses, and cut­ting-edge sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch faci­li­ties around the world rely on AMD tech­no­lo­gy dai­ly to impro­ve how they live, work, and play. AMD employees around the world are focu­sed on buil­ding gre­at pro­ducts that push the boun­da­ries of what is pos­si­ble.
