The inverse problem is a similar entity like all the other configuration objects. We want to be able to keep track of all the individual steps, and avoid unnecessary repetitions of the same task. Fortunately, SalvusProject takes care of data management and book keeping.
We need to specify the prior, which is just the SimulationConfiguration object of the initial model we created above. Furthermore, we need to specify all possible events that we might consider during the inversion. This could be a subset of events defined in the project, and we could add more events later on. Together with the events, we need to pass the observed data. Because we created it synthetically, this is also just a SimulationConfiguration object. The remaining parameters specify which parameters to invert for (VP and RHO), what misfit functional to use, preconditioner and descent method, and where to run the simulations.
p += sn.InverseProblemConfiguration(
    name="my_inversion",
    prior_model="initial_model",
    events=p.events.list(),
    mapping=sn.Mapping(scaling="absolute", inversion_parameters=["VP", "RHO"]),
    preconditioner=sn.ConstantSmoothing({"VP": 0.01, "RHO": 0.01}),
    method=sn.TrustRegion(initial_trust_region_linf=10.0),
    misfit_configuration="L2",
    wavefield_compression=sn.WavefieldCompression(
        forward_wavefield_sampling_interval=10
    ),
    job_submission=sn.SiteConfig(
        site_name=SALVUS_FLOW_SITE_NAME, ranks_per_job=4
    ),
)
Instead of monolithic inversions and a linear flow of iteration, SalvusOpt uses a tree-based framework of iteration. At any point during the inversion, you can branch off, modify the settings, and run one or more streams simultaneously.
Ready for our first iteration? Without specifying any additional information, all parameters will be inherited from the InverseProblemConfiguration.

True
Many steps within a single iteration involve expensive simulations, e.g., for computing misfits or adjoint simulations to compute gradients. In order to be able to closely monitor the progress, SalvusOpt steps through an iteration, and automatically dispatches simulations whenever necessary. The function resume will return whenever SalvusOpt is waiting for other tasks to finish first. Calling it several time, will step through the iteration in sequence.

If you feel confident and don't want to be bothered with every single task, you can also tell SalvusOpt to run an entire iteration at once. Note the parameter timeout_in_seconds, which will force the cell to return even if the iteration has not been completed yet, and there might still be a few simulations running in the back.
Again, you can execute the cell several times or mix it with calls to the previous one until the iteration is complete.
