	abstract = {Many of the seismic inversion techniques currently proposed that focus on robustness with respect to the background model choice are not apt to large-scale 3D applications, and the methods that are computationally feasible for industrial problems, such as full waveform inversion, are notoriously limited by convergence stagnation and require adequate starting models. We propose a novel solution that is both scalable and less sensitive to starting models or inaccurate parameters (such as anisotropy) that are typically kept fixed during inversion. It is based on a dual reformulation of the classical wavefield reconstruction inversion, whose empirical robustness with respect to these issues is well documented in the literature. While the classical version is not suited to 3D, as it leverages expensive frequency-domain solvers for the wave equation, our proposal allows the deployment of state-of-the-art time-domain finite-difference methods, and is potentially mature for industrial-scale problems.},

	abstract = {[Devito] is an open-source Python project based on domain-specific language and compiler technology. Driven by the requirements of rapid HPC applications development in exploration seismology, the language and compiler have evolved significantly since inception. Sophisticated boundary conditions, tensor contractions, sparse operations and features such as staggered grids and sub-domains are all supported; operators of essentially arbitrary complexity can be generated. To accommodate this flexibility whilst ensuring performance, data dependency analysis is utilized to schedule loops and detect computational-properties such as parallelism. In this article, the generation and simulation of MPI-parallel propagators (along with their adjoints) for the pseudo-acoustic wave-equation in tilted transverse isotropic media and the elastic wave-equation are presented. Simulations are carried out on industry scale synthetic models in a HPC Cloud system and reach a performance of 28TFLOP/s, hence demonstrating Devito{\textquoteright}s suitability for production-grade seismic inversion problems.},

In part 1 (Louboutin et al., 2017), we demonstrated how to discretize the acoustic wave equation and how to set up a basic forward modeling scheme using Devito, a domain-specific language (DSL) in Python for automated finite-difference (FD) computations (Lange et al., 2016). Devito allows us to define wave equations as symbolic Python expressions (Meurer et al., 2017), from which optimized FD stencil code is automatically generated at run time. In part 1, we show how we can use Devito to set up and solve acoustic wave equations with (impulsive) seismic sources and sample wavefields at the receiver locations to model shot records.},
