Matteo Ravasi presents "Solving geophysical inverse problems on GPUs with PyLops+CuPy" to the Swung community. Lukas Mosser (Earth Science Analytics) and David Vargas (Unversity of Utrecht) also present two use cases if PyLops for automatic seismic interpretation and seismic imaging applications.

The event was held online and recording is available on YouTube.

Abstract

Inverse problems are ubiquitous in geoscience with applications spanning from earthquake and exploration seismology, all the way to electromagnetics and gravity potential methods. We will start this online event by presenting PyLops, a Python-based framework aimed at solving large-scale inverse problems, and its latest developments to allow interoperability between CPU and GPU computations. This will be followed by an open discussion where we wish to hear from the audience about their experience with PyLops and possibly identify any current limitationsa that has prevented them from benefitting from it in their work.
