Abstract
A new seismic data-processing program package was developed at the Program for Crustal Studies at the University of Wyoming. The new system has a well-developed job-description language similar to that used by some commercial analogs. Unlike commercial systems, our seismic monitor supports a structured multicomponent seismic data stream, which facilitates programming of complex processing algorithms. The monitor employs a unique backpropagation processing strategy, giving additional flexibility to the processing flow. The organization of the system allows parallelizing of the computations in a natural way. Over 60 seismic processing modules have already been developed for our system. Special interfaces allow inclusion of older modules developed for other processing systems. The system was written using C programming language, with some modules using FORTRAN. It operates under the UNIX environment on SUN Sparc and Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) Indigo 2 workstations, and on a four-processor SGI Power Challenge L.
