Description
The presentation will look briefly at Total Exploration &
Production, high performance computing needs and the
different avenues that it is looking at to fulfill these
needs in the future. This presentation will focus on one of
these areas, External Grid Computing, and give an overview
of the current research project into External Grid Computing
that is taking place at Total's UK based Research Centre.
The research project involves porting an internal

gain hands on experience and insight into the advantages/
disadvantages of External Grid Computing from Total's
perspective.
