ECLIPSE Parallel

ECLIPSE Parallel allows the simulation of a single dataset on a number of processors or cores, by distributing its grid cells and wells across them.

Based on distributed memory architecture using MPI in ECLIPSE Blackoil and Compositional simulators, and using multithreading in the FrontSim simulator, ECLIPSE Parallel

• allows you to run larger simulations and more simulations in a given time period
• provides the shortest time to solution and scales with the number of available processors; scalability is dependent on model size, model complexity, and number of processors
• enables simulation of geologically realistic models, allowing capture and modeling of more complex production processes
• makes accessible high-performance computing improvements—compute clusters, multicore (e.g., Intel Nehalem) processors
• is benchmarked and tested constantly on the latest high-performance computers, processors, and chips to benefit from improvements in machine architecture; systems are tuned to give maximum simulation performance
• needs only one additional keyword to run a dataset in parallel mode; uses additional keywords to tune the dataset for optimal performance.
