计算机在石油工业的应用与日俱增,其重要原因是微型机的发展。今日之台式计算机已具备六十年代初最大主机的数据处理能力。目前,石油工业的计算机总费用年平均为74亿美元,预期1988年增加到142亿美元。其中70%的费用是用于改进勘探方法,而主要费用又是花费在超级计算机上。目前计算机应用出现两个趋向:一是分散或分布式计算,另一个是发展超级计算机。最新超级计算机每秒可进行几亿次浮点运算,预期可提高各种复杂作
The growing use of computers in the oil industry is due to the development of microcomputers. Today’s desktop computers already have the data processing capabilities of the largest hosts in the early 1960s. At present, the total cost of oil in the oil industry is an average of 7.4 billion U.S. dollars per year, and it is expected to increase to 14.2 billion U.S. dollars in 1988. 70% of the cost is spent on improving exploration methods, and the main expense is spent on supercomputers. At present there are two trends in computer applications: one is decentralized or distributed computing, and the other is the development of supercomputers. The latest supercomputer can perform hundreds of millions of floating-point operations per second, is expected to improve a variety of complex
