Abstract
This thesisproposesfiveparallelalgorithmsfor3Doilreservoirdatavisualizationtool.
The proposedalgorithmsdependonshared,distributedandhybridmemorymodels
and itcanbeusedasgeneralparallelalgorithmsforotherapplications.Thesuggested
parallel implementationsaretestedbydifferentdatasizesusingtworealplatforms,
ERI-HPC andVirtualClusteronERI-OpenStackcloud.
This thesisprovidesfivecontributions.First,developingscalableandreusableparallel
algorithms for3Doilreservoirdatavisualizationtoolwhichdependonshared,dis-
tributedandhybridmemorymodels.Second,testingtheparallelimplementationson
traditional HPCsystem.Third,buildingVirtualClusteronOpenStackCloudasavirtual
system andelaboratethenetworktrafficbetweenvirtualmachines.Fourth,studyingthe
performance ofparallel3DoilreservoirdatavisualizationtoolontheVirtualCluster.
Finally,Comparingtheperformanceofparalleloilreservoirdatavisualizationtoolon
HPC systemandvirtualcluster.
