现代石油勘探仪器系统的主控计算机——UNIX工作站

UNIX Workstation: The Main Control Computer in Modern Petroleum Exploration Instruments.

现代石油勘探仪器的基本结构是以计算机网络技术为中心的分布式数据采集与控制系统。新型地震仪、测井仪等大型石油勘探仪器系统都采用了这种结构。在分布式数据采集与控制系统中 ,其中的主控计算机节点使用的是高性能的UNIX工作站。UNIX工作站固有的高速计算能力、标准的网络配置和先进的图形功能 ,极大地提高了仪器系统的整体性能。现代石油勘探仪器系统中 ,围绕着UNIX工作站硬件和软件理论的研究显得越来越重要 ,网络通信技术、实时处理与控制技术、基于计算机窗口系统的图形用户界面技术以及其他相关的理论和技术是现代石油勘探仪器今后重要的研究方向。

The basic structure of modern petroleum exploration instruments is distributed data acquisition and control system (DDACS) based on computer network technology. Newly developed petroleum exploration instruments such as seismometers and logging instruments bave already adopted this structure. In this DDACS, high performance UNIX workstation is the main control computer node. The inherited high speed and standard network ability of UNIX workstation made it possible that the over all system performance of instrument has been greatly improved. So in the study of modern petroleum exploration instruments, computer theory related to hardware and software of UNIX workstation becomes more and more important. Network communication, realtime control and data processing, graphical user interface based on windows technology and other related theory will be a very important direction of research for modern petroleum exploration instruments.
