Analysis of selected component technologies efficiency for parallel and distributed seismic wave field modeling

Abstract

In this article efficiency of using component-based software for seismic wave field modeling is presented. The most common component solutions like: .NET, Java and Mono were analyzed for various operating systems and hardware platform combinations. Obtained results clearly indicate that the component approach is able to give satisfactory results in this kind of applications, but global solution efficiency can strongly depends on operating system and hardware. The most important conclusion of this work is that for this kind of computations and at this stage of component technology development there are almost no differences between commercial and free platforms. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
