Abstract: In an approach for classifying and storing multiple layers of a file system as platform-dependent and platform-independent layers, a processor generates an initial layer of a file system. The initial layer is a platform-dependent base layer. A processor assigns one or more files associated with the initial layer with a first group identification as a first same group in a file registry for a plurality of platforms. A processor generates a new layer based on the initial layer into the file system. A processor, in response to the new layer being platform-independent, marks the new layer as platform-independent in the file registry. A processor pushes the new layer into the file registry for one of the plurality of platforms. A processor distributes one or more corresponding files from the file registry per a client request to access the file system.

Abstract: A least one seismic attribute is determined for each voxel of the seismic volume. A first horizon is selected for mapping and a sparse global grid is generated which includes the horizon, at least one constraint point identifying the horizon, and a number of points having a depth in the seismic volume. A value of at least one seismic attribute is determined for each point and their depths are adjusted based on the value of the seismic attribute.

Multiple local grids can be generated based on the sparse global grid, and the depths of the local grid points adjusted to generate a map of the horizon at voxel level resolution. The seismic volume can be mapped into multiple horizons, where previously mapped horizons can function as constraints on the sparse global grid.

The catalytic converter may be a three-way catalytic converter for lower cost or a downstream two-way catalytic converter may be added if further emission reduction is necessary.
