oa Full Wave Imaging beyond GPU Memory Limits

Full-Wave Imaging is evolving in the direction of higher frequencies/resolution and more accurate wave propagation physics. Both factors imply a significant increase on the pressure on efficient and effective memory management, due to the conflict between the large increase of the required memory and the need to guarantee data locality to maximize performance. The memory hierarchy must be explicitly managed to reach the optimal tradeoff. At the same time, unnecessary code complexity must be hidden from the geophysical programmer to maximize the effectiveness in developing better imaging algorithms.
