Preface
The electronic version of this
report makes
the included programs and applications available to the reader. The
markings [ER], [CR], and [NR], are promises by the author about the
reproducibility of each figure result.
Reproducibility is a way of organizing computational research, which
allows both the author and the reader of a publication to verify the
reported results at a later time.
Reproducibility facilitates the transfer
of knowledge within SEP and between SEP and its sponsors.
- ER
- denotes Easily Reproducible
and are the results of a processing described in the paper.
The author claims that
you can reproduce such a figure from
the programs, parameters, and makefiles
included in the electronic document.
The data must either be included in the electronic distribution,
or be easily available (e.g. SEG-EAGE data sets) to SEP and
non-SEP researchers. The data may also be available in the
SEP data library, which can be viewed at
http://sepwww.stanford.edu/public/docs/sepdatalib/toc_html/.
We assume you have a UNIX workstation
with Fortran, Fortran90, C, X-Windows system and the software
downloadable from our website
(SEP makerules, SEPlib, and, to properly reproduce the
documents, the SEP latex package).
Before the publication of the electronic document,
someone other than the author tests the author's claim by
destroying and rebuilding all ER figures.
Some ER figures may not be reproducible by outsiders because
they depend on data sets that are too large to distribute,
or data that we do not have permission to redistribute but
are in the SEP data library.
- CR
- denotes Conditional Reproducibility.
The author certifies that the commands are in place to reproduce
the figure if certain resources are available.
SEP staff have only attempted to make sure that
the makefile rules exist and the source codes referenced
are provided. The primary reasons for the CR
designation is that the processing requires 20 minutes or more,
or commercial packages such as Matlab or Mathematica.
- M
- denotes a figure that may be viewed as a movie in the web
version of the report. A movie may be either ER or CR.
- NR
- denotes Non-Reproducible.
This class of figure is considered non-reproducible.
SEP discourages authors from flagging their figures
as NR except for artist drawings, scannings, etc.
Our testing is currently limited to IRIX 6.5 and LINUX 2.1 (using
the Portland Group Fortran90 compiler), but the
code should be portable to other architectures. Reader's
suggestions are welcome.
