Seismic migration algorithms on multiprocessors

The authors study seismic migration algorithms in order to develop a general framework for analyzing such algorithms and to propose some coarse-grained paradigms for computation of parallel computers. They analyze a few typical examples of the various migration techniques existing in literature, and discuss methods to optimize their performance on distributed concurrently executing processors. The computational and communication requirements of the algorithms are discussed and diverse optimization techniques are proposed. The memory limitation, I/O bottleneck, and computational tradeoffs on hypercube multiprocessors are analyzed
