| IBM Linux supercomputers land oil deal |
|---|
IBM, a key backer of the Linux operating system, has sold a Linux supercomputer to WesternGeco for oil exploration after similar sales to Chevron and Royal Dutch/Shell Group.
Terms of the sale to U.K.-based WesternGeco, an exploration-services company, weren't disclosed. The supercomputer, which already is installed, is made up of 256 server computers, each containing two Intel processors. The system runs software that converts seismic soundings to digital maps so WesternGeco clients can distinguish oil fields from other underground formations
