EUT302: Data Ingestion at Seismic Scale: Best practices for processing petabyte scale HPC workloads in the Cloud - a podcast by AWS

With geoseismic datasets that are petabytes in size and growing, finding tomorrow's energy is increasingly data and compute intensive. Hess Corporation, a global energy company, needed to be able to respond quickly to changing oil market demands, while minimizing costs. By migrating petabytes of data and running high performance computing (HPC) workloads on AWS, Hess reduced compute costs and accelerated time in which geologists received results. In this session, you will learn how Hess built a GeoSeismic data repository on AWS, by leveraging S3 and EFS, and processes that data by building HPC clusters on-demand using the GPU-enabled P2 instance family. Additionally, you will learn how the Hess subsurface computing team was able to move from running on premise cap-ex driven GPU clusters to an op-ex driven on-demand model in the AWS cloud.
