    CFN, Bldg 735, Conference Room A, 1st Floor

    Hosted by: Kevin Yager and Masa Fukuto

    The talk gives an overview of some recently developed, theoretical and numerical methods for wave-motion modeling and mathematical optimization, and selected applications. At first, methods to solve eikonal and wave equations on parallel computer architectures are presented. Next, a recently developed hybrid optimization scheme is presented and applied to distributed wave-source optimization. All presented methods are tailored to take advantage of parallel computer architectures, especially multi-GPU computer architectures.
