Welcome to Gaia API Documentation.

Vorticity Gaia is a cloud compute service that provides lightning fast computing for seismic imaging problems using custom silicon accelerators on the cloud. These accelerators are built from the ground up to solve scientific computing problems and can be up to a few orders or magnitude faster than a typical consumer grade GPU and CPU based system. This open source API allows users to connect to this service using well established seismic operators.

NOTE: For full functionality, contact Vorticity to set up your account.

For mode details visit the Vorticity website or contact Vorticity.

Getting Started

This guide is for linux and MacOS based machines. Windows machines will require a linux bash shell. For troubleshooting contact Vorticity.

Examples

We provide serveral examples here to get you started. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Forward examples

  1. demo.py - Demonstrates how to run a forward model using the acousitic wave equations.

  2. mdemo.py - Demonstrates how to run a large (1 billion grid points +) forward model using the acousitic wave equations. Will require special access.

  3. edemo.py - Demonstrates how to run a forward model using the elastic wave equations.

RTM examples

  1. demo2.py - Demostrates how to run a acoustic reverse time migration (RTM) .

  2. edemo2.py - Demonstrates how to run a elastic reverse time migration (RTM).

Remote/batch operators

  1. remote_demo.py - Demonstrates several operators useful in gathering shots from a large survey.
