Abstract

Researchers in the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) consortium are performing computationally intensive seismic hazard research with the goal of developing a better understanding of earthquake processes and reducing earthquake hazards. Geoscientists and computer scientists working on the SCEC Community Modeling Environment (SCEC/CME) Project have developed a highly capable computational environment that includes high performance computing, large-scale data management, grid-based middleware, scientific visualization tools, and collaboration tools. SCEC researchers have used the SCEC/CME computational environment to perform several large-scale simulations including wave propagation simulations (TeraShake 1), dynamic rupture simulations (TeraShake 2), and 3D waveform-based probabilistic seismic hazard curve calculations (CyberShake). Our experience using the …
