Tomofast-x 2.0: an open-source parallel code for inversion of potential field data, to recover density, susceptibility and magnetisation vector, with topography and wavelet compression

Abstract. We present a major release of the Tomofast-x open-source gravity and magnetic inversion code that incorporates several functionalities enhancing its performance and applicability for both industrial and academic studies. The code has been re-designed with a focus on real-world mineral exploration scenarios, while offering flexibility for applications at regional scale or for crustal studies. This new version includes several major improvements: magnetization vector inversion, inversion of multi-component magnetic data, wavelet compression, improved handling of topography with support for non-uniform grids, a new, efficient parallelization scheme, a flexible parameter file, and optimized input-output operations. Extensive testing has been conducted on a large synthetic dataset as well as field data from a prospective area of the Eastern Goldfields (Western Australia) to explore new functionalities with a focus on inversion for magnetisation vectors and magnetic susceptibility, respectively. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of Tomofast-x 2.0 in real-world studies in terms of both the recovery of subsurface features and performances on shared and distributed memory machines. Overall, with its updated features, improved capabilities, and performances, the new version of Tomofast-x provides a free open-source, validated advanced and versatile tool for constrained gravity and magnetic inversion.

Short summary
We present a major release of the Tomofast-x open-source gravity and magnetic inversion code that is enhancing its performance and applicability for both industrial and academic studies. We focus on real-world mineral exploration scenarios, while offering flexibility for applications at regional scale or for crustal studies. The optimisation work described in this paper is fundamental to allowing more complete descriptions of the controls on magnetisation, including remanence.
