Abstract:
We leverage NVIDIA GPUs for connected components labeling and image classification applied to Digital Rock Physics (DRP), to help characterize reservoir rocks and study their pore distributions. We show on this talk how NVIDIA GPUs helped us satisfy strict real-time restrictions dictated by the imaging hardware used to scan the rock samples. We present a detailed description of the workflow from a DRP approach perspectives, our algorithm and optimization techniques and performance results on the latest NVIDIA GPU generations.
