The ability to query and process very large, terabyte-scale datasets has become a key step in many scientific and engineering applications. In this paper, we describe the application of two middleware frameworks in an integrated fashion to provide a scalable and efficient system for execution of seismic data analysis on large datasets in a distributed environment. We investigate different strategies for efficient querying of large datasets and parallel implementations of a seismic image reconstruction algorithm. Our results on a state-of-the-art mass storage system coupled with a high-end compute cluster show that our implementation is scalable and can achieve about 2.9 Gigabytes per second data processing rate – about 70% of the maximum 4.2GB/s application-level raw I/O bandwidth of the storage platform.

Key Words: Seismic Data Analysis • Data-Driven Applications
