Parallel Technqiues for Seismic Computations Finding oil includes seismic processing of data obtained from experiemnts done in the field. The compujtations are generally very compute intensive and hence lends themselves to parallel computing, since often large datasets spanning storages on several compute nodes is involved. In this thesis. a seismic application is considered and fast both serial and parallel algorithms studied and compared This includes evaluating how to best divide the data between different nodes for a given application.
