TIPS FOR PERFORMANCE SCHLUMBERGER PETREL 2010–2011 PROCESSOR 1. Fast clock rate for single-threaded loads Dual QuadCore or HexCore for 2. MultiThreaded operations  o o o o o  3. 4. 1 Attribute Calculations Reservoir Simulations Seismic rendering and bulk-data I/O Facies and petrophysical modeling Geometrical modeling and Volumetrics MultiTasking Workflows Large CPU Cache Recommended BIOS settings for Petrel (on a following page) ©2010 rev. 12.07.2010 MEMORY 1. Memory size is critical Physical memory should hold active project data  2. Fill all memory channels for peak bandwidth Z200 and EliteBook have 2-channel memory  o 4GB minimum o 8, 16, or 32 GB possible Z400/Z600/Z800 have 3-channel memory  o 12G minimum recommended o 24, 48, 72 or 96 GB may be needed o 192 GB maximum in Z800 TIPS FOR PERFORMANCE SCHLUMBERGER PETREL 2010–2011 DISK DRIVES & FILE IO 1. One disk for OS, page file, and applications 2. IF using local read-mostly Project Cache(s), then cache drive should be  >= 2 drives, RAID-0 stripe Fastest to slowest: SSD, SAS 15K, SATA 10K, SATA 7.2K o  On this drive : disable Indexing, consider turning off Write-cache buffer flushing  File system size recommended : as much as needed to hold active project data 3. High-bandwidth connection to project file server(s) 2  Team multiple network controllers if pulling/pushing data from/to multiple servers simultaneously  Optionally use faster network interface card if network infrastructure and file servers support this ©2010 rev. 12.07.2010 TIPS FOR PERFORMANCE SCHLUMBERGER PETREL 2010-2011 OPERATING SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS 1. Windows7 64-bit 1. NVIDIA Quadro FX preferred 2. High performance power plan 2. NVIDIA Quadro *000 for Petrel 2011 3. To minimize unnecessary disk IO 3. Certified OpenGL graphics card driver  Consider disabling Windows Search service  Consider disabling Superfetch service (Vista & Win7) HP Performance Advisor can be used to analyze your system configuration and is available for download at http://www.hp.com/go/HPPerformanceAdvisor 3 ©2010 rev. 12.07.2010 4. Graphics Memory for Volume Visualization 5. High-end Graphics Shaders/Processing for smooth interactivity with large geometric models involving advanced visualization techniques 6. Multi-Display support PETREL RECOMMENDED BIOS SETTINGS Power --> OS Power Management --> Runtime Power Management • Power --> OS Power Management --> Idle Power Savings • Default is All Cores Recommendation: All Cores Advanced --> Chipset ---> Memory Node Interleave • Default is Disable Recommendation for Disable Advanced --> Processors --> Active Cores • Default is Disable Recommendation: Enable Advanced --> Processors --> Hyperthreading • Default is Enable Recommendation: Enable Power --> Hardware Power Management --> Enhanced Intel Turbo Boost Tech • Default is Extended Recommendation: Extended Power --> Hardware Power Management --> Intel Turbo Boost Technology • Default is Enable Recommendation: Enable Default is Disable Recommendation: Disable NOTE – HP Performance Advisor can be used to easily check and change BIOS settings.
