WIT Inc. has a sizeable Linux cluster in its Houston facility, dedicated to seismic processing. The computer room has dedicated power and HVAC, with UPS systems to ensure stability through short power outages. We have tens of terabytes of server-based RAID 5 disk for secure data storage and two DLT tape drives to read client data.

We are investigating the use of "accelerated computing" solutions, such as GPUs, for improved speed.

We are ready, able, and willing to handle your depth imaging projects

WIT Inc. is proud to use the SeisPak^TM processing system, developed by our Founder, Dr. Joe Higginbotham, starting in 1984. SeisPak was intended to provide a friendly environment for developers and was also intended to be easy to maintain and to port. This was important because good software was being lost when companies moved to new hardware and operating system environments. SeisPak succeeded and lives today largely because the industry moved to the "UNIX" type operating systems that were reasonably consistent over a variety of hardware platforms.

Like many other seismic processing systems, SeisPak uses "piping" to run multiple sequential seismic operations without the need to write intermediate results to disk. However, rather than using operating system piping, the piping in SeisPak is programmed directly into the system. This fact enabled Dr. Higginbotham to very naturally develop a fault-tolerant, load-balanced data parallelism using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In addition to many utilities for data handling, SeisPak includes powerful end-user applications such as 3D Shot Gather Migration, SRME, and 3D Acoustic Wavefield Simulation.
