The processing of seismic data, for the imaging of the earth's subsurface, is pushing current computational possibilities to the limit. In this paper results are presented obtained by optimisation and parallelisation of two innovative seismic algorithms with the use of PVM and FORGE. It shows that where the algorithm is CPU bound, a very significant speedup can be acquired, whereas IO-bound algorithms cannot take advantage of the parallel implementation. This leads to two distinct approaches for optimisation.
