ABSTRACT

The increase of processing capacity of PC and continuing downsizing of computer platform bring a new role of high end PC to replace the position of main frame. Unix plays the crucial role in the past during the workstation downsizing era. Today the same power of Unix can be run on the available high speed PCs. Since the seismic processing modules are running in Unix system while at the same time users typically prefer windows as a convenience interface so that the integration of Unix and Windows platform will be the best solution.

Seismic Unix, which is collaborative open source seismic processing module from Colorado University, run on the Unix Platform such as Sun Solaris or Linux. It has more than 150 basic modules for seismic processing step. However Seismic Unix lack of interactive user interface. One of the solutions is padding the interface to the core Seismic Unix modules and it is combined with commercial package available in Windows environment. In this paper, we present Window Seismic Unix (WiSU), which provides the interactive of processing package adopted from seismic unix modules. This interactive package provides several number of additional processing module to turn original module to become an enterprise class and user friendly processing package .

WiSU user interactive front end interface is currently developed on higher language of MATLAB, which is Java language in nature. While the backend processing module can be developed using either Windows or Linux programming package or using MATLAB. The flexible developing environment create numbers of development scheme and MATLAB combined with scripting language creates a fast and flexible development environment without scarifying the demand for fast and smooth processing.

Key words: Seismic Processing, Windows, Seismic Unix and MATLAB
