Energy conglomerate Conoco Inc. announced that it has built and deployed a huge Linux-based supercomputer to analyze massive amounts of seismic data gathered in the process of exploring for oil and gas. The new geophysical computer — which Conoco said boasts enough storage capacity to house the complete U.S. Library of Congress — was built entirely by an internal information technology and engineering team headed by Dr. Alan Huffman, manager of the company’s Seismic Imaging Technology Center. The story is at ComputerWorld.
