The scattering of acoustic waves has been of practical interest for the petroleum industry, mainly in the determination of new oil deposits. A family of computational models that represent this phenomenon is based on finite difference methods. The simulation of these phenomena demands a high computational cost and large amounts of available memory. In this work we employ GPU based cluster environment for the development of scalable solvers for a 3D wave propagation problem with finite difference methods.
