Big Seismic Data Visualization on Cloud: A Case Study Collaborating with Industry

Scientific and industrial data have grown too big to efficiently process and visualize using the current desktop solution. The cloud computing becomes a feasible solution to tackle the big data challenge. However, how to efficiently visualize big data sets such as the Oil & Gas industry seismic volume on the cloud remotely remains a challenge. It is not feasible to send big data back to the client side to visualize them. The limitations of Internet latency and bandwidth require all data rendering and processing are carried on the cloud side in order to achieve real-time big data visualization.
