Testing Linux multiprocessors for seismic imaging

چکیده
Benchmarks of our “production” codes show that Pentium-based multi-processors computers running the Linux operating system are attractive options for SEP’s next computational server(s). A four-processor SGI 1400 L (500 Mhz Pentium III Xeon) has consistently performed as well as, or better than, our SGI Origin 200 (180 Mhz R10000). We used the Portland Group’s pgf90 compiler to compile our benchmarking codes, that are parallelized with OpenMP directives. This compiler has proven to generate efficient code, though the support of some F90 and OpenMP features is still immature.

The Case for Migratory Priority Inheritance in Linux: Bounded Priority Inversions on Multiprocessors
Linux’s real-time performance crucially depends on priority inheritance because—on uniprocessors—it limits the maximum duration of priority inversion to one critical section per lock while ensuring that tasks remain fully preemptable even when holding locks. Unfortunately, priority inheritance is ineffective on multiprocessors under non-global scheduling (i.e., if some tasks may not execute on ...
متن کاملOptimizing design of 3D seismic acquisition by CRS trace interpolation
Land seismic data acquisition in most of cases suffers from obstacles in fields which deviates geometry of the real acquired data from what was designed. These obstacles will cause gaps, narrow azimuth and offset limitation in the data. These shortcomings, not only prevents regular trace distribution in bins, but also distorts the subsurface image by reducing illumination of the target formatio...
متن کاملAchieving Multiprogramming Scalability on Intel SMP Platforms: Nanothreading in the Linux Kernel
This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a nanothreading interface in the kernel of the Linux operating system for Intel Pentium-based symmetric multiprocessors. The nanothreading interface aims at achieving scalability of parallel programs in multiprogrammed shared memory multiprocessors, where multiple parallel and sequential programs with diverge characteristics and resourc...
متن کاملMICA: A Memory and Interconnect Simulation Environment for Cache-Based Architectures
MICA is a new-generation simulation environment, which provides complete simulation facilities for simulating distributed shared memory (DSM) multiprocessors. It runs on the inexpensive Linux-based PCs. MICA uses application traces as inputs and provides a core scheduler and memory and interconnect interfaces. A rich set of synchronization algorithms and architecture simulators are also provide...
متن کاملTravel Time Inversion in Seismic Tomography
The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
