Title
Semi-discrete Matrix-Free Formulation of 3D Elastic Full Waveform Inversion Modeling.
Abstract
Full waveform inversion (FWI) is an emerging subsurface imaging technique, used to locate oil and gas reservoirs. The key challenges that hinder its adoption by industry are both algorithmic and computational in nature, including storage, communication, and processing of large-scale data structures, which impose cardinal impediments upon computational scalability. In this work we will present a complete matrix-free algorithmic formulation of a 3D elastic time domain spectral element solver for both the forward and adjoint wave-fields as part of a greater cloud based FWI framework. We discuss computational optimisation (SIMD vectorisation, use of Many Integrated Core architectures, etc.) and present scaling results for two HPC systems, namely an IBM Blue Gene/Q and an Intel based system equipped with Xeon Phi coprocessors.
