Abstract
There is an increasing demand for high-performance computing on geophysical exploration applications, which implies more carbon emissions due to higher energy consumption. Furthermore, there is increasing concern about the environmental and social impact that this can generate. We show how cloud computing can handle these challenges simultaneously and thereby assist business leaders in their decision-making. Cloud computing is a paradigm in which users rent computing capacity from providers on a pay-as-you-go basis, thereby reducing the carbon footprint by up to 88%. It can run software for years uninterrupted using the same capital required to acquire and run on-premises infrastructure, even if such infrastructure has over a thousand graphics processing units. However, the managers must consider that challenges arise from using the cloud, such as trusting their data in a third-party server and expenses throughout the years, especially with storage.
