Visualization and data reordering using EcoRAM

Robert G. Clapp

Abstract:

Memory size and input/output (IO) performance have not kept pace with the ever increasing size of seismic data volumes. Processing steps that involve random, or pseudo-random, access to data (such as visualizing, sorting, and transposing) further degrade performance. I use Spansion's EcoRAM to replace out-of-core visualization and data transpose schemes. I show between one and two orders of magnitude improvement in performance over conventional out-of-core solutions.
