General Physics 2026-04-17 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

SWEEP (Seismic Wave Equation Exploration Platform) is a unified and extensible wave equation solver library designed for wavefield modeling and inversion. It supports a wide range of wave propagation engines, including acoustic, elastic, attenuative, VTI, TTI, and their Born approximations, among others. With a built-in support for automatic differentiation, the framework enables seamless implementation of full-waveform inversion (FWI), least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM), and other gradient-based optimization methods. It also features a plug-and-play architecture, allowing easy integration and flexible combination of custom loss functions, multi-GPU computation, neural networks, and more. This makes Sweep a powerful and customizable platform for tackling advanced seismic inverse problems.
