High performance and grid computing with quality of service control

摘要

High performance computing (HPC) and grid computing processing for seismic and reservoir simulation are performed without impacting or losing processing time in case of failures. A Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard is implemented in High Performance Computing (HPC) and grid computing platforms, to avoid the shortcomings of current Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication between computing modules, and provide quality of service (QoS) for such applications. QoS properties of the processing can be controlled.

1. A computer implemented method of computerized processing in a data processing system of data for exploration and production of hydrocarbons, the data processing system including at least one master node established as a publisher of exploration and production data with an established quality of service standard profile including a durability policy for the exploration and production data being processed, a plurality of processor nodes established as subscribers to receive exploration and production data from the publisher master node, and a data memory, the method comprising the computer processing steps of:
(a) transmitting the established quality of service standard profile from the publisher master node to the subscriber processor nodes; (b) establishing with the publisher master node a domain for exploration and production processing by the publisher master node and designated ones of the plurality of processor nodes as subscriber processor nodes; (c) sending a source data sample of the exploration and production data from the publisher master node to the designated subscriber processor nodes of the domain; (d) processing the transmitted exploration and production data in the designated subscriber processor nodes of the domain; (e) monitoring at the publisher master node the processed exploration and production data of the designated subscriber processor nodes of the domain; (f) determining in the publisher master node whether the designated subscriber processor nodes of the domain comply with the transmitted established quality of service standard profile from the publisher master node; and (g) if so, receiving at the publisher master node the processed exploration and production data from the designated subscriber processor nodes which comply with the transmitted established quality of service standard profile; and (h) if not, inhibiting at the publisher master node transfer to the publisher master node of the processed exploration and production data from the designated subscriber processor nodes which do not comply with the transmitted established quality of service standard profile; (i) joining additional processor nodes as designated subscriber processor nodes of the domain during processing of exploration and production data; (j) delivering the processed exploration and production data to the joined additional processor nodes; and (k) assembling in the data memory of the data processing system the processed exploration and production data received at the publisher master node.
