CALGARY, Alberta – June 2, 2015 – Acceleware Ltd. (TSX-V:AXE) announced today that it has agreed to provide the University of Calgary via its CREWES research project, AxFWI™ for use in their research.

“We are excited to continue our support of CREWES by providing them with access to this state-of-the-art modular application,” said Eric Trouillot, Director of Business Development and Technology, Seismic Software at Acceleware.   “The AxFWI™ platform offers great flexibility and is built on Acceleware's proven fast RTM libraries. This combination provides researchers with best of both worlds: speed and accuracy in computations along with the ability to easily test various algorithms and techniques, therefore accelerating research efforts.”

CREWES will be addressing major roadblocks of full-waveform-inversion (FWI) in their 5 year plan and with the use of AxFWI™ which will further the development of FWI techniques. The strength of AxFWI™ is a result of Acceleware’s proven fast and accurate finite-difference engines that power Acceleware’s robust reverse time migration (AxRTM™) and seismic forward modelling (AxWave™) solutions.

“Having access to a high-performance FWI product such as AxFWI™ will be a great benefit to the CREWES team as we work to develop new ways to more efficiently capture the benefits of leading edge approaches to seismic imaging techniques,” said Gary Margrave, Director of CREWES.
