Seismic data modelling using parallel distributed MATLAB

چکیده
Numerical modelling of seismic wave propagation is central to seismic imaging and inversion. Modelling of 3D heterogeneous anisotropic media can, however, simultaneously be both costly and of low fidelity. To address some aspects of the fidelity / cost problem, we present our implementation of seismic modelling within the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld algorithmic framework and implemented in a parallel computing environment. We demonstrate through example, that knowledge of relationships among hardware architecture, support software systems, and resource usage of our algorithm, is of crucial importance to the achievement of worthwhile performance using parallel computing. From an initial, simplistic expression of our parallel algorithm in the MATLAB system, exhibiting ‘negative improvement’, we incrementally adapt the parallel control framework without losing the clarity or correctness of the original model expression, to bypass successive bottlenecks and achieve substantial performance gains.

Seismic wave modelling algorithms used for calculating the seismic response of a given earth model, require large computational resources in terms of speed and memory. In this paper we describe the PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) implementation of these algorithms in a distributed computing environment. Both the acoustic and elastic wave modelling equations are formulated as a first order hyperb...

متن کاملFull waveform seismic inversion using a distributed system of computers
The aim of seismic waveform inversion is to estimate the elastic properties of the Earth’s subsurface layers from recordings of seismic waveform data. This is usually accomplished by using constrained optimization often based on very simplistic assumptions. Full waveform inversion uses a more accurate wave propagation model but is extremely difficult to use for routine analysis and interpretati...
