Key technologies used to implement this architecture: Users can access the visualization VM through RDP. OPM ResInsight running on a Standard-NV6 Windows VM displays 3D visualizations of results. A premium disk is connected to the head node and set up as an NFS server for the compute nodes and the visualization VM. OPM Flow sends calculated results to a file share on the head node. The compute VMs are deployed as a virtual machine scale set, a group of identical VMs that scale to meet the demands of the compute tasks. PBS Pro 19.1 runs on the head node and schedules the jobs on the compute nodes. Users sign in to the head node via SSH to prepare their models for the compute resources. This diagram offers a high-level overview of the architecture used in the example. Architectureĭownload a Visio file of this architecture. Azure makes it possible to run this type of workload with maximum performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. This example sets up reservoir simulation software on an Azure high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Reservoir simulation uses data-intensive computer models to predict complex flows of fluids such as oil, water, and gas beneath the earth's surface.
