Pioneers from Stone Ridge Technology (SRT) joined us for a live webinar that explored how and why GPU architecture revolutionised performance and resolved long-standing bottlenecks in petroleum reservoir simulation.
In this session, experts shared real-world perspectives, the company’s roots in high performance computing (HPC) and how the founders reimagined reservoir simulation for a new era of hardware through their flagship product, ECHELON.
Attendees gained valuable insights into emerging hardware trends, next-generation accelerators and how SRT continues to push the boundaries of HPC in reservoir simulation.
