Abstract

I present a parallel matrix-free framework for frequency-domain seismic modeling, imaging and inversion. The framework provides basic building blocks for designing and testing optimization-based formulations of both linear and non-linear seismic in- verse problems. By overloading standard linear-algebra operations, such as matrix-vector multiplications, standard optimization packages can be used to work with the code without any modification. This leads to a scalable testbed on which new methods can be rapidly prototyped and tested on medium-sized 2D problems. I present some numerical examples on both linear and non-linear seismic inverse problems.
