In today's energy driven society, the search for fossil fuels is an important area for the energy market. This market makes heavy use of computation for seismic data acquisition, reservoir and depth migration simulations and data management.

The Cray XT5 MPP system, with is scalability from hundreds to thousands of nodes and powerful I/O performance is an excellent platform for the computational and data driven simulations in this market. 

The Cray CX1 , with scalability from 4-64 cores, and integrate local IO and visualization, provides a breadth of uses including visualization of data, testing and development of methods and applications, as well as analysis of medium sized datasets.
