Validation data of parallel 3D surface-borehole electromagnetic forward modeling

Forward modeling of geophysical electromagnetic fields over large three-dimensional volumes is a heavy computational task that demands effective accelerating strategies. As a solution to this computational challenge, a hybrid parallel computing algorithm with multiple meshes has been previously proposed for 3D forward modeling of time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) fields by Liu et al. (2019). MPI and OpenMP were used for parallel computing and multiple meshes for optimizing the design of the geological model and frequencies used in forward modeling. The data presented in this paper offers complementary information on the calculation of the different components, such as the model discretization with regular or multiple meshes, the parallel computing with even or uneven modes, and an example of 3D TEM forward modeling through the proposed algorithm
