Abstract:

The high performance of the Cell B.E. for 32 bit applications made the
Cell an attractive system for seismic imaging codes. The Fraunhofer Cell
Cluster consisting of 70 QS22 blades is mainly used in this field. The
talk will give an overview of achieved and expected results for various
seismic imaging codes on Cell. In the second part it will adress
Fraunhofers choice of programming models for Cell - the Fraunhofer
Virtual Machine and the Graph ParallelArchitecture.
