Abstract
In this work we present a complete performance analysis of the elastic and acoustic seismic modeling algorithms for 3-D seismic acquisition simulations and vectorial imaging (prestack elastic and acoustic depth migrations) based on a finite difference technique which divides the space domain in several parts. From our analysis it is possible to estimate the total amount of time a Beowulf cluster spent in 3-D modeling and reverse time migration accomplished in realistic situations.
