This repo was created as motivation to start implementing some of the ideas laid out in https://curvenote.com/@simpeg/simpeg-inversion-refactor.
Warning
This repository will never host a stable and well tested codebase. Its purpose is to have a place where we can freely try new ideas without having to worry about breaking existing code, supporting backward compatibility, or providing support to the community.
The main goal of the redesign is to create a new public inversion framework in SimPEG that:
- Is modular, allowing users to plug custom or third-party minimizers, simulations, regularizations, etc.
- Can be easily extended (with minimum extra work) to problems outside the
traditional
$\phi(m) = \phi_d(m) + \beta \phi_m(m)$ inversion problem. - Is implemented in such way that is easier to read, study, and understand by beginners that are taking their first steps in inversion theory.
- Is implemented in such way that can be easily extended to more complex and/or complicated use cases.
- Defines a clear and minimal interface for each one of the classes.
- Makes use of abstract classes to enforce implementation of required methods and properties.
- Simplifies the inheritance tree by lowering the amount of inheritance levels.
Note
These goals are not set in store and are flexible. We are free to add, remove, and edit them at any point.
