Some oil & gas companies have HPC systems onboard their survey vessels to process data at sea. One example from Australia: https://www.nextplatform.com/2018/01/08/hpc-optimizes-energy-exploration-oil-gas-startups/ # DUG provides hardware and software to marine geophysical company Polarcus*, # fitting out its fleet of seagoing vessels for marine seismic data acquisition. # Dr. Stuart Midgley, DUG’s systems architect, notes that space is very # limited on each vessel, so the onboard supercomputing system must be # extremely powerful for data processing and imaging, yet consume minimal # electrical power and occupy a limited footprint. cheers.
