This report, together with the prototype, is the result of a project assigned by the
course TDT4590 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Anne Cathrine Elster for invaluable support and feedback throughout the entire project. She has been an inspiration with her great understanding and dedication to the field.  Given her generosity and encouragement all the resource needed for this project where made available. I would like to thank Victor Aarre of Schlumberger for his support in providing me with new ideas, example source code and a set of seismic data. I would especially like to thank NVIDIA for sponsoring of our group and our HPC-lab, and for making high-end graphics cards such as Tesla c1060 and Tesla s1070 available. I would also like to give thanks to the entire HPC group for their support, encouragement and enthusiasm for this project. And a special thanks to Jan Christian Meyer, Thorvald Natvig, and Holger Ludvigsen for all their help.
