Computational improvements to AWP-ODC and Hercules will help achieve the regional scale, high-resolution, high-frequency earthquake simulations required for CyberShake to maximize the value of the computational results for use by the engineering community, who use seismic hazard maps to improve the design of infrastructure to withstand strong ground shaking.
