Flexible Framework for Parallel PDE Parameter Estimation in Julia

jInv

jInv is a flexible framework for PDE parameter estimation in Julia. It provides easy to extend core functions used in PDE-constrained inverse problems. Our goal is to solve parameter estimation problems efficiently and in parallel. For more details see (http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.07399)

Overview

jInv consists of five submodules:

1. ForwardShare - methods for solving forward problems in parallel.
2. InverseSolve - methods commonly used in inverse problems such as misfit functions, regularization and numerical optimization.
3. Mesh - regular and tensor meshes in 2D and 3D as well as differential operators.
4. LinearSolvers - interfaces to sparse and (if installed) direct linear solvers that can be used for solving the discretized PDEs.
5. Utils - utility functions

Requirements

jInv is intended for use with Julia versions 0.4.x.

1. KrylovMethods.jl - iterative methods for solving (sparse) linear systems.

Additional (optional) packages for higher performance. jInv detects automatically if these packages are installed and uses them by default.

1. MUMPS.jl - wrapper for MUMPS. Used as a direct PDE solver.
2. ParSpMatVec.jl - shared memory implementation for sparse matrix vector products.
3. 'Pardiso.jl'

Installation

In julia type:

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaInv/jInv.jl","jInv")
Pkg.test("jInv")

Packages using jInv

1. DivSigGrad.jl - Inverse conductivity problems in statics
2. FWI.jl - Full Waveform Inversion
3. MaxwellFrequency - Inversion for conductivity in Maxwell's equations
4. EikonalInv.jl - Inversion for slowness from travel time tomography
