Abstract

A method for processing requests includes receiving, from a requestor, a first read request to read a portion of a seismic cube. The first read request includes a virtual location of the portion. The method further includes querying a seismic cube index to obtain a mapping parameter and a storage location of a section including the portion of the seismic cube. The mapping parameter maps virtual locations in the seismic cube with data locations in the section. The section is identified using the virtual location of the portion. The method further includes calculating, on a computer processor and using the mapping parameter, a data location in the section corresponding to the virtual location of the portion, and transmitting a second read request to the storage location of the section. The second read request includes the data location. The requestor receives the portion from the storage location.
