is currently President of Data-Warp, Inc. It was founded in 1999 and provides consulting services for seismic imaging software on High-Performance Computers (HPC). Randy has a BSEE from SDSU. He worked for Amoco at the Tulsa Research Center in the Geophysical Research Department for 24 years. This provided valuable exposure to bleeding edge geophysics, seismic processing and the people that make it happen. Randy's primary interests include advanced processing architectures, High-Performance Computing and seismic imaging applications. He designed and implemented the Data Dictionary System (DDS) in 1995 for Amoco. In 2004 Randy founded the PSEIS Consortium to "Develop and support a world class seismic processing platform that is suitable for production processing and R&D activities".

has a PhD in Nuclear Physics from UCLA. He has worked for Amoco at the Tulsa Research Center since 1979 and now for BP since 1999. Jerry worked with Randy in some of the early years of development on DDS and at the time of the BP merger took over the support efforts of DDS. At that time the Crays were dropped and the Disco format was no longer used. But the later merger with ARCO helped make the transition to Linux clusters more effectively from the older Thinking Machines' CM5's. In 2003 FreeDDS was released by BP under an open-source license through the FreeUSP website (thanks to Paul Garossino and their FreeUSP License). It includes a small collection of seismic imaging programs and associated utilities written at the Houston Exploration and Technology Group within BP America Inc. This is being offered in the hopes that it may foster education, understanding and collaboration amongst the world wide seismic imaging community. DDS continues to provide the software infrastructure for advanced seismic imaging at one of the world's largest geophysical HPC centers

has worked with USP from in early inception in 1988. In 2009 Joe started supporting DDS in preparation for Jerry's retirement in early 2012.
