	abstract = {Adapting the cloud for high-performance computing (HPC) is a challenging task, as software for HPC applications hinges on fast network connections and is sensitive to hardware failures. Using cloud infrastructure to recreate conventional HPC clusters is therefore in many cases an infeasible solution for migrating HPC applications to the cloud. As an alternative to the generic lift and shift approach, we consider the specific application of seismic imaging and demonstrate a serverless and event-driven pproach for running large-scale instances of this problem in the cloud. Instead of permanently running compute instances, our workflow is based on a serverless architecture with high throughput batch computing and event-driven computations, in which computational resources are only running as long as they are utilized. We demonstrate that this approach is very flexible and allows for resilient and nested levels of parallelization, including domain decomposition for solving the underlying partial differential equations. While the event-driven approach introduces some overhead as computational resources are repeatedly restarted, it inherently provides resilience to instance shut-downs and allows a significant reduction of cost by avoiding idle instances, thus making the cloud a viable alternative to on-premise clusters for large-scale seismic imaging.},

	abstract = {Wave-equation based methods, such as the estimation of primaries by sparse inversion, have been successful in the mitigation of the adverse effects of surface-related multiples on seismic imaging and migration-velocity analysis. However, the reliance of these methods on multidimensional convolutions with fully sampled data exposes the {\textquoteleft}curse of dimensionality{\textquoteright}, which leads to disproportional growth in computational and storage demands when moving to realistic 3D field data. To remove this fundamental impediment, we propose a dimensionality-reduction technique where the {\textquoteleft}data matrix{\textquoteright} is approximated adaptively by a randomized low-rank factorization. Compared to conventional methods, which need for each iteration passage through all data possibly requiring on-the-fly interpolation, our randomized approach has the advantage that the total number of passes is reduced to only one to three. In addition, the low-rank matrix factorization leads to considerable reductions in storage and computational costs of the matrix multiplies required by the sparse inversion. Application of the proposed method to two-dimensional synthetic and real data shows that significant performance improvements in speed and memory use are achievable at a low computational up-front cost required by the low-rank factorization.},

	abstract = {As conventional oil and gas fields are maturing, our profession is challenged to come up with the next-generation of more and more sophisticated exploration tools. In exploration seismology this trend has led to the emergence of wave-equation based inversion technologies such as reverse-time migration and full-waveform inversion. While significant progress has been made in wave-equation based inversion, major challenges remain in the development of robust and computationally feasible workflows that give reliable results in geophysically challenging areas that may include ultra-low shear velocity zones or high-velocity salt. Moreover, sub-salt production carries risks that needs mitigation, which raises the bar from creating sub-salt images to inverting for sub-salt overpressure.},
