== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

==Objective==
The project objective was to organize a one-day workshop to discuss current issues associated with the simulation of soil-structure interaction (SSI) of complex building and non-building systems during strong earthquakes, and to identify research needs and areas of application in which SCEC research might contribute to addressing those needs. The workshop took place on January 29, 2015 in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California, with 24 invited participants from industry, government, and academia. The workshop was divided into four sessions. Initially, several speakers gave short presentations on the current state-of-practice and needs for SSI effects in different types of infrastructure systems, including building structures, foundations, multi-structure systems, nuclear power plants, and dams and related geotechnical engineering structures. This was followed by a session on methods of analysis for SSI and related software. Third was a presentation on SCEC activities related to engineering applications. The fourth, an entire afternoon, session was devoted to a discussion of needs and desirable actions and developments. Prior to the workshop, the organizers sent to the participants, along with the agenda and list of participants, an overview of the workshop to help shape the presentations and discussions. The overview, agenda, and list of participants are given below.

==Overview==
The evaluation of SSI effects during earthquakes is currently conducted, by and large, using variations of methods based on highly simplifying assumptions that were developed originally over fifty years ago. For instance, the current SSI provisions in the ASCE 7-10 standard are based on simplified analytical methods developed in the 1970s. Minor improvements have been made since then, and revisions to the SSI provisions in the forthcoming ASCE 7-16 standard were made in the current code cycle. These revisions, however, are still based on the same simplified equivalent linear model on which the original recommendations were based.

Structural engineers typically use commercial software for dynamic analyses that can model the 3-D geometry and stress-strain characteristics of the structure in great detail, but these software programs model the SSI effects crudely, if at all. Similarly, geotechnical engineers use commercial software that can model the complex constitutive behavior of the soil, but these software programs cannot accommodate complex 3-D structural models. Another potentially important factor is the spatial variability of ground motion and how to model it in complex geologic media; this problem is especially important for elongated structures such as dams and bridges, and for other complex multistructural systems such as nuclear power plants. With the increased attention being paid to the nation’s infrastructure, it is now an appropriate time to bring together seismologists and engineers to (a) assess current practice in SSI and related recent methodologies, and (b) examine unmet needs and potential methodologies for addressing such needs.

==Summary==
An early observation made by several speakers was that most seismic provisions for incorporating soil-structure interaction effects in building codes, as well as for the seismic design of nuclear power plants, are based on methodologies developed over 30 years ago. There have been recent efforts to update the early work and to answer the question of when the effects of SSI are significant. One such effort was the NIST-sponsored research conducted under the NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture, a partnership of ATC and CUREE. This research resulted in the 2012 NIST report, Soil-Structure Interaction for Building Structures (NIST GCR 12-917-21), which was used to update the SSI provisions in Chapter 19 of the forthcoming ASCE 7-16 standard.

Some highlights of the first session are:
*It is often assumed that SSI effects are always beneficial. It is now well known that this is not necessarily the case. Thus, it is important not to assume that ignoring SSI is conservative.
*SSI effects are significant for cases in which the height of the structure divided by the product of the fixed-base fundamental natural period of the structure times the shear wave velocity of the soil around the structure is greater than 0.1.
*The spatial distribution of the ground motion is usually not considered in the analysis and there is concern about the procedures currently used to evaluate the reduction in ground motion that occurs at higher frequencies due to the filtering effects from the embedment of the foundation and the base slab averaging. Current procedures for evaluating the effective ground motion at the base of the structure can result in reductions that are as large as 80 percent of that in the free field.
*SSI effects in nuclear power plants (NPP), which are stiff and massive structures, can be significant when they are embedded in soil. Structural behavior is currently assumed to remain linear. High frequencies are a concern because of the equipment. There is an increase in torsional and rocking response with inclined waves; oftentimes incident motion is taken as consisting only of vertically incident waves.
*More advanced nonlinear analyses for modeling SSI effects are already being used by industry. From a geotechnical perspective several applications (e.g., dams, retaining walls, pile foundations) were illustrated in which FLAC, a geotechnical and rock mechanics software package, was used for the analysis. This code is capable of modeling nonlinear soil behavior, including slip and separation. However, for pile foundations, nonlinear springs (p-y, t-z, and Q-z curves), developed in the 1970s from static or slow cyclic tests on prototype piles are still typically used to model the interaction between individual piles and adjacent soil.
*Another issue is the question of how the design spectrum is modified due to gapping and sliding at the interface between the soil and the structural foundation.
*Another major practical application described at the workshop dealt with the New Transbay Transit Center (TTC) in San Francisco. This is a major urban development with many stakeholders concerned about interactions between their properties. It represents an important example of SSI and Structure-Soil-Structure Interaction (SSSI) in a highly seismic zone. It entailed the development of bedrock ground motion (assumed to be spatially uniform), nonlinear site response analysis, kinematic effects on deep basements, prediction of excavation-induced movements of adjacent existing buildings, quantifying static and seismic load-paths between soils, piles and adjacent basements for structural design, and assuring that new towers being erected in the vicinity do not invalidate the earthquake performance requirements of the TTC. The advanced numerical simulations were conduction using LS-DYNA, a commercial finite element tool capable of modeling non-uniform 3D non-linear response of the soil domain and the construction sequence followed by earthquake response. Because of the importance of the project, a major construction monitoring instrumentation system was installed. Gaining access to the recorded data would be highly valuable for future validation studies.

The second session was devoted to a description of several additional advanced software tools currently used or under development for the analysis of complex SSI and SSSI applications, primarily associated with the nuclear industry.
*The first one, SASSI, is the industry-standard tool used today for the SSI analysis of nuclear power plants. It is a commercial finite element code in the frequency domain that represents the soil as a horizontally layered anelastic model and simulates inelastic soil behavior by adjusting the shear modulus and intrinsic damping as a function of the local shear strains. The incident wave is most often idealized as a vertically incident shear wave polarized in the horizontal direction (SH or SV). A variety of elements are available to represent the foundation and superstructure.
*Another tool discussed during the workshop is a generalized time-domain method for Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis based upon an extension of the Domain Reduction Method for incorporating arbitrary incoming ground motion. The LLNL-developed modified method has been implemented in LLNL’s nonlinear time-domain structural mechanics code, DIABLO. The methodology has been combined with the use of a simple hysteretic soil model based upon the Ramberg-Osgood formulation and applied to a notional Small Modular Reactor. These benchmark results compare well with those obtained by using SASSI. The methodology provides a new alternative approach for the investigation of other sources of nonlinearity, including those associated with the use of more physically-realistic material models incorporating pore-pressure effects, gap opening/closing, the effect of nonlinear structural elements, and 3D seismic inputs.
*A third presentation addressed the current status of non-linear analysis of SSI (NLSSI) in the nuclear industry. Present barriers to conducting nonlinear analyses in practice are the lack of acceptance of nonlinear behavior in ASCE-4; perceived (or real) limitations of time domain software to perform NLSSI; lack of a general NLSSI methodology: INL has developed such a methodology. The soon to be released ASCE 4-15 has a non-mandatory appendix that will allow nonlinear time domain SSI analysis. The short to medium range is to provide the DOE and Industry with robust analytical methods for evaluating a range of seismic ground motions at critical infrastructure and nuclear facilities and implement protective measures such as seismic isolation. The long-term goal is to evaluate the performance of virtual nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities to a wide range of external hazards including multiple event scenarios.

The presentation in the third session provided an overview of the SCEC Special Projects that have a direct relationship to engineering applications. These include the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast Version 3 (UCERF3) that provides the basis for identifying potential future earthquakes; the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability; and the Community Modeling Environment, which includes three components: the Broadband platform (BBP); the CyberShake platform and the High-F platform. Using various individual ingredients, SCEC has generated on the order of 235 million seismograms per model at 283 sites in the greater Los Angles region, which were used for developing the hazard model.

This model deals only with frequencies up to 1 Hz. In order to attain higher frequencies of engineering interest there is a push for conducting physics-based deterministic simulations up to 5 Hz in 2015, and physics-based stochastic simulations to 5 Hz by 2018 and even higher, using empirical stochastic approaches.

Another important engineering-related activity at SCEC concerns ground motion simulation validation, since any practical application of simulation methods requires application-specific validation. Also, and most importantly, application-specific validation gauntlets must be designed collaboratively by earthquake scientists and engineers, including practicing engineers. Validation activities have been undertaken for the Broadband platform and for the High-F platform. These are coordinated by the Ground Motion Simulation Validation technical activity group, whose goal is to develop and implement, via collaboration between ground motion modelers and engineering users, validation gauntlets for engineering applications. Metrics used for these validations include elastic and inelastic spectral accelerations/displacements, nonlinear building response, and duration-sensitive geotechnical systems. There is a parallel effort to utilize the ground motion simulations in practical applications. This effort, being led by the Committee on the Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations, has as its main objective to develop long-period response spectral acceleration maps for the Los Angeles region for inclusion in NEHRP and ASCE 7 Seismic Provisions and in the Los Angeles City Building Code.

==Needs==
Based on the morning presentations and discussions, the afternoon session was devoted to discussing (both short-term and long-term) research needs, desirable actions and developments that could help (i) improve our understanding of the extent and importance of SSI effects, and (ii) develop the methodologies to incorporate such effects into the analysis and design of infrastructure systems when these effects are significant. The participants felt strongly that in order to attain these goals, there is need for (1) more/better instrumentation of building structures and other infrastructure, and (2) increasingly more realistic simulations accompanied by validations that use available existing data and data from newly instrumented infrastructure systems.

There were a number of specific comments and suggestions offered during this session. These include the following:

Issues related to the understanding of SSI
*Lack of recorded ground motion near buildings presents a challenge for validation. Need additional instruments in the vicinity of buildings to be able to compare basement motion with recorded free field motion.
*“Blind validation” can also be useful in validation efforts, e.g., Parkfield blind-prediction experiment.
*Need additional instruments in building basements to be able to determine rotational motion in addition to translations.
*Knowledge of the structural response, and basement translation and rotation as well as relative basement motion compared to free field motion are essential for inferring the extent and importance of SSI.
*What is the effect of neighboring structures on SSI?
*Simulations needed also to validate the measurements.

Issues related to ground motion
*Need better understanding of the nature of basin and seismic wave propagation in the near field: fundamental information on how waves propagate through the soil, surface waves, depth variation, etc., to be used for the excitation of extended structures.
*Knowledge of ground motion at different depths can be very useful. Numerical modelers could do this.
*Characterization of soil in the top ~30 m can be very important. Seismologists don’t know enough but engineers may know more. Collaboration between the two groups is important and can be used to improve SCEC velocity models.
*Frequency dependence of attenuation is important. (Already being studied at SCEC).
*Need to better understand the effects of vertical acceleration on the structure and on SSI phenomenon.
*Need to account for spatial variation of ground motion: wave passage problem, coherency. Two parts: (1) Need to represent the spatial variability of ground motion, and (2) study how the coherency affects the SSI analysis; research is needed to see how to address incoherency.
*Do engineers want access to the SCEC synthetic seismograms? (Engineers: Yes, if the seismograms cover a wide-enough period band).
*Need for stochastic analysis of ground motion, to incorporate uncertainty, especially at higher frequencies. SCEC already has activity in this direction.
*Need statistical analysis for variation of ground motion over the height of the basement.
*Need software tools that can incorporate multi-support excitation. Important to input different time-series into the analysis.

Issues related to engineering practice
*Identify specific target performance goals, e.g., target risk.
*For engineering practice need simple models. But how simple is too simple of a model? For instance, for soils don’t want to ignore the physics when modeling the springs/dashpots/piles etc.; most of the springs are based on outdated empirical models. Each component of the empirical models needs to be validated. Need to know when to abandon unreasonable results.
*Need to encourage practitioners to start thinking about SSI analysis. 90% of practice assumes fixed base, which avoids SSI but is not always conservative. Most structural engineers are not able to represent SSI. Most will consider SSI analysis if they are provided with a simple SSI model.
*Need better representation of design spectrum for damping ratios other than 5%. In SSI we always start with uniform hazard response spectra (UHRS) at 5% damping, but we need to consider other damping ratios, which can change the spectrum significantly.
*In research, it would be nice to have time-series for given hazard levels and bypass the UHRS procedures.
*Need to encourage practitioners to start thinking about SSI analysis.

A general observation:
*Simulated ground motions existed for many years, but they were not really used until verified systematically and validated against data through projects like the BBP validation project. The situation might be similar for SSI: an organization like NIST needs to undertake a process to bring together interested engineers and scientists and look at the SSI problem systematically, validate, verify codes, etc. For instance, the current SSI software gives different results for the exact same inputs even in linear analysis. Verification of these codes could be a first step.

And a closing remark offered in response to the various points raised during the discussion:
*It will be useful to have a numerical lab for simulation at as high resolutions as we can get for this group (engineers interested in SSI). Will need recommendations from the group for specific sites.

As a follow-up to this workshop, it would be useful to start exploring whether and how SCEC could help activate the recommendations contained in the last two observations.

==Overview==
A 1-day workshop on the integration of 3D nonlinear site effects in physics-based ground motion simulations will be held at the University of Southern California on May 5. The workshop will be funded by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), and is intended to identify and prioritize research needs in the realm of ground response and ground deformation simulation for large-scale seismological models. Specific areas that the workshop will be focusing on include:

*Material (constitutive) models for soils in seismological models: Moving from 1D to 3D in regional-scale simulations
*Parameterization of material models on regional scales: How to deal with scarce and sparse input parameters?
*Large scale simulation and computational challenges (including multi-scale approaches to nonlinear site effects)
*Coupling with engineering applications (e.g., SSI, distributed infrastructure systems, soil-city interaction simulations) and other effects (topography/geometry).

<big>'''SCEC Committee for Utilization of Ground Motions Simulations'''</big>

== Goal and Charter ==
The SCEC Committee for Utilization of Ground Motions Simulations (or "UGMS Committee" for short) was chartered the SCEC Earthquake Engineering Implementation Interface Focus Group.

The SCEC UGMS Committee is tasked to develop long-period response spectral acceleration maps for Los Angeles region for inclusion in NEHRP and ASCE 7 Seismic Provisions and in Los Angeles City Building Code. The maps would be based on 3-D numerical ground-motion simulations, and ground motions computed using latest empirical ground-motion prediction equations from the PEER NGA project. This project is coordinated with (1) the SCEC Ground Motion Simulation Validation Technical Activity Group (GMSV-TAG), (2) other SCEC projects, such as CyberShake and UCERF, and (3) the USGS national seismic hazard mapping project.

== Committee Members ==
* Norm Abrahamson (PG&E/UCB)
* John Anderson (UNR)
* Bob Bachman (R.E. Bachman Consulting Structural Engineers)
* Jack Baker (Stanford)
* Jacobo Bielak (CMU)
* C. B. Crouse (URS, chair)
* Art Frankel (USGS)
* Rob Graves (USGS)
* Ron Hamburger (SGH)
* Curt Haselton (CSUC)
* John Hooper (MKA)
* Marty Hudson (AMEC)
* Charlie Kircher (Kircher & Associates)
* Marshall Lew (AMEC)
* Nico Luco (USGS)
* Farzad Naeim (Farzad Naeim, Inc.)
* Paul Somerville (URS)

In the future the UGMS Committee plans to invite structural engineers (SE’s) in Southern CA to participate as Corresponding Members. Possibilities include SE’s from the City of L.A., L.A. County, and Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEASC). The addition of these SE’s is important for building a consensus on the long period ground motion maps for the Los Angeles region.

== Participating Organizations ==
Besides SCEC, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and USGS Golden, Colorado, office would participate. FEMA would enter the project during the next NEHRP code cycle, which would likely begin in late 2015. The USGS would prepare the long period maps and submit them to the Provisions Update Committee (PUC). The PUC membership would be established by the organization responsible for preparing the NEHRP seismic provisions. FEMA will select this organization, which in years past, has been the Building Seismic Safety Council of the National Institute of Building Sciences. The SCEC pilot study would then also become an Issue Team project under the PUC with the specific goal of developing the long-period maps for the Los Angeles region. If the PUC approves the maps and they become part of the NEHRP seismic provisions, then the maps would be submitted to the ASCE Seismic Subcommittee for possible inclusion in the ASCE 7 standard.

== Accomplishments ==
=== 2013 ===
The 1st-year scope consisted of one 2-hour meeting (3 – 5 p.m.) at SCEC on April 3, 2013; the meeting was held in conjunction with the GMSV-TAG committee meeting earlier in the day. The 1st meeting covered the following agenda items: (1) finalize committee membership, (2) establish technical tasks and the resources to accomplish these tasks, (3) create organization chart and identify the committee members to lead and participate in each task, and (4) establish a schedule for the project.

=== 2014 ===
The second UGMS meeting was held on May 12 at SCEC. Much of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the CyberShake platform for generating ground-motion simulations throughout Southern California. T. Jordan first presented an overview of CyberShake and the SCEC ground motion simulation program. Jordan followed with presentations on the SCEC community velocity models, and comparisons of ground-motion predictions from CyberShake and the empirical NGA equations. Jordan also showed that Cybershake was able to reproduce long period ground motions from recent local earthquakes. Jordan’s final presentation was plans for future CyberShake development, which included extending the frequency band to 1.3 Hz to better define 1-sec period motions.

The UGMS affirmed that the long period mapping project will proceed on two parallel tracks, in which PSHA/DSHA will be conducted from the 3-D numerical simulations using CyberShake and from the traditional empirical approach using the NGA-West equations. It was agreed that the results from the 3-D simulations could be used to refine the equations ultimately used in the empirical approach. The second meeting concluded with an action item that SCEC would generate long period response spectra at selected sites using CyberShake and the NGA-West equations as a benchmark to guide the future direction of the committee.

Fourteen (14) sites were selected throughout Southern CA (see attached map) and risk targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) response spectra were computed at each site by following the procedures in ASCE 7-10. Plots of the probabilistic and deterministic MCER response spectra, as well as the resulting MCER response spectra (lower of the probabilistic and deterministic MCER) were presented at the third UGMS committee meeting on November 3 at SCEC. Each plot showed the MCER response spectra from CyberShake and NGA-West. For some sites the two spectra were similar and at other sites significant differences were observed. The observations were discussed and suggestions for the third year research program were proposed.

=== 2015 ===
The reasons for the similarities and differences in the response spectra at the 14 sites were investigated during the first half of 2015. Possible limitations of both the NGA and CyberShake models were explored. Sensitivity studies using CyberShake and the widely used 1-D SHAKE site-response code were conducted to examine the effects of the shallow velocity structure at a deep soil site in Carson. The CyberShake model uses a constant shear-wave velocity (Vs) model in the upper 200m, while the SHAKE model used a more realistic depth-varying Vs based on measured Vs data at a nearby site. Under the assumption of linear response, SHAKE and CyberShake predicted similar surface motions for periods, T > ~ 1.5 sec. When SHAKE was run using nonlinear response (i.e., strain-dependent modulus-reduction and material-damping values) the comparison with the CyberShake linear model were much less favorable. Domniki Asimaki, who attended the May 2014 meeting, noted that better soil constitutive models were available and during the latter half of 2015, she conducted additional site-response studies using these alternative models and different levels of input earthquake ground motion. Results will be reported during the next UGMS meeting, which is to be scheduled in early December.

The CyberShake MCER response spectra computed at the 14 sites in 2014 were underestimated at 2-sec period, which at the time was the lower limit of the period band in the CyberShake model. In the first half of 2015, SCEC expanded the valid period range of CyberShake and eliminated the underestimation at 2-sec period. Revised MCER response spectra at the 14 sites showed the 2-sec spectral ordinates increased by a factor of ~2 as a result of the period-band expansion.

During the May 2015 UGMS meeting, the committee noted that the algorithm for CyberShake’s deterministic MCER calculation needed to be revised. This revision was subsequently made by SCEC. During the last half of 2015, SCEC worked with the USGS to obtain the fault and maximum magnitude database the USGS used in its deterministic MCER calculation for the 2008 and 2014 national ground-motion maps.

Comparisons of the CyberShake-based and NGA-West2-based MCER response spectra at the 14 sites indicated a period-dependent weighting scheme to combine the results from these two approaches to produce multi-period MCER response spectra from 0 to 10-sec for use in design. This scheme was tested for the Compton site (i.e., the site in the deep part of the Los Angeles basin) and the result was favorable. Results at the other 13 sites are planned to be presented at the December 2015 meeting.

=== 2016 ===
'''In progress:''' The main goal for 2016 is to finalize the procedure for generating MCER maps for southern California and produce preliminary maps to be presented to the City of Los Angeles for possible inclusion as an amendment to the maps in ASCE 7-16 standard, which the City is expected to adopt after this standard is released in 2016. The UGMS has identified the key building official at the City, Ifa Kashefi, PhD, SE, Engineering Bureau Chief, who will ultimately decide whether to adopt the SCEC-UGMS maps. This official will be informed of the new maps, and when they are ready for release. A presentation will then be made to the City, which would tentatively occur toward the end of 2016. Thus, the first half of 2016 would be devoted to finalizing the procedure and the second half to preparing the maps. This action plan will be discussed at the December 2015 UGMS committee meeting. If the City adopts the new maps, then other cities in southern California would more likely be inclined to adopt them also.

Regardless of the City’s decision, the maps will be a resource for the City and other organizations, for immediate use on future projects involving long period structures, such as high-rise buildings, which would be designed using ASCE 7-16 and the provisions in the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Initiative document. Therefore, to facilitate use of the maps, SCEC, under the guidance of the UGMS, would develop a web-based lookup tool, similar to the USGS tool for the national maps. SCEC can begin this task in 2016. The maps would cover the greater Los Angeles region and thus provide a resource for other cities and counties. The plan for publicizing the maps would be discussed during the first UGMS meeting in 2016.

The next seismic code cycle will officially kick-off in 2016 and will eventually result in the publication of the next editions of the NEHRP and ASCE 7 seismic provisions, slated for 2021 and 2022. FEMA representatives have been informed of (1) the USMS committee work for Los Angeles, and (2) parallel efforts by USGS personnel to use numerical models to produce long period ground maps for the Seattle and Salt Lake City urban areas. Once the new Provisions Update Committee (PUC) has been formed for the NEHRP provisions update, its first meeting will establish the technical topics that will be addressed during the cycle. One of the topics will be the procedure for generating the ground-motion maps; this procedure will be recommended by the FEMA-funded Project 17 committee. The outcome will dictate the longer range schedule and technical agenda of the UGMS beyond 2016 for submitting a proposal to the PUC for MCER maps of the greater Los Angeles area. This activity would be coordinated with the USGS Golden, Colorado, office.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

'''<big>Collaborative Research: Mining Seismic Wavefields</big>''' 
'''Investigators:''' Gregory C. Beroza (Stanford); Co-PIs: Philip J. Maechling (USC), Yehuda Ben-Zion (USC), Thomas H. Jordan (USC), Egill Hauksson (Caltech), Zhigang Peng (Georgia Tech)

'''Overview.''' A working group of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) proposes to develop and deploy cyberinfrastructure for mining seismic wavefields through data intensive computing techniques to extend similarity search for earthquake detection to massive data sets. Similarity search has been used to understand the mechanics of tectonic tremor, transform our understanding of the depth- dependence of faulting, illuminate diffusion within aftershock seismicity, and reveal new insights into induced earthquakes. These results were achieved with modest data volumes – from ~ 10 seismic stations spanning ~ 10 km – yet they increased the number of detected earthquakes by a factor of 10 to 100. This geoinformatics project will develop the cyberinfrastructure required to enable high-sensitivity studies of earthquake processes through the discovery of previously undetected seismic events within massive data volumes.

'''IntellectualMerit.''' Standardpracticetreatsseismicsignalsindividually,anddetectsanearthquakewhen multiple impulsive arrivals consistent with a source within the Earth are associated across a network. This approach dates from an era where analog data, limited telecommunications, the high cost of sensors, and lack of computing prevented network-based detection. The premise of this proposal is that continuous and/or densely recorded data coupled with high-performance computing and improved scalable algorithms enable a network-based approach that will greatly enhance the detection of currently unreported weak and unusual events.

Earth structure is effectively constant over extended observational periods, such that proximal earthquake sources generate similar signals. Event detection based on similarity has led to many fundamental discoveries; however, most similarity-based detection methods require prior knowledge of the source waveform. Search for signals with unknown signatures based on pair-wise or multiple matches has seen some success; however, naïve implementations suffer from quadratic scaling with time such that problems of great interest – decades of data recorded on hundreds to thousands of channels – are beyond even the most capable computers. For dense networks, the availability of waveform data motivates alternative detection schemes, such as reverse-time imaging, but 4D imaging of continuous data also leads to computationally daunting problems.

We propose to use highly efficient techniques from data mining to implement scalable search for similar seismic signals. Multiple facets of mining massive waveform data are challenging. The technical challenges to be addressed as part of the proposed research for spatially sparse recording are to: improve similarity-preserving compression, use improved compressed representations to search efficiently for repeating signals over a network, and improve post-processing of search output to isolate signals of seismological interest. For spatially dense recording, we propose to: extend recently developed wavefield techniques to similarity across channels within dense networks and to enable similarity search across elastic wavefields in four dimensions.

'''Broader impacts.''' The proposed work has the potential for exceptionally broad impact on all disciplines using earthquakes by providing vastly more detailed seismic catalogs. Seismicity induced by human activities is an emerging problem that adversely affects energy options for the 21st century, including shale gas development, enhanced geothermal energy, and carbon sequestration. A more complete view of seismicity related to these activities is essential to managing the risks they pose. The project will create exceptional training opportunities for graduate students, including several female students, from geo- and computational sciences, and a postdoc at four institutions. The complementary nature of the proposed approaches will allow us to compare their output and assess their performance. Data-intensive computing approaches have had limited impact in seismology. Cheap, capable sensor technology is poised to increase data rates dramatically, and earthquake seismology is under-prepared for this. The proposed work would change that by introducing state-of-the-art data-mining techniques to earthquake seismology.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
[[File:Allocations_2002-2015.png|225px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC computing resources awarded from 2002-2015.]]
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

Taken together, the SCEC Community Models provide a unique and robust cyberinfrastructure for the collaborative encoding of our cumulative knowledge of the San Andreas system, including the observational and modeling uncertainties. The original “CXMs” were structural representations of seismic velocities (CVM) and active faults (CFM), which have been iteratively combined into a Unified Structural Representation (USR). In SCEC4, we have undertaken an ambitious (and unfinished) effort to develop community geodetic and stress models that can represent the kinematic (CGM) and dynamic (CSM) states of the fault system consistent with the USR (Figure). SCEC5 research will further expand and improve the CXMs, adding thermal and rheological models. A priority will be the proper representation of model uncertainties for all CXMs.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computational Platforms ==
[[File:platforms.png|400px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC/CME researchers integrate software and hardware to produce research computing systems we call computational platforms.]]
A computational platform is a vertically integrated collection of hardware, software, and people that provides a broadly useful research capability. The existing SCEC computational platforms are shown in figure at right.

== SCEC Base Program Activities ==
SCEC Special Projects are designed to align with the SCEC base program (aka "SCEC Core"), as well as the overall SCEC priorities, through careful planning and development of synergistic activities. These activities include:
#Working within the [https://www.scec.org/leadership#PC SCEC Science Planning Committe] (a) to develop the [https://www.scec.org/scienceplan annual Science Collaboration Plan], (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate [https://www.scec.org/reports/annual annual reports for the Center].
#Supporting and guiding when necessary the Technical Activity Groups (TAGs), which self-organize to develop and test critical methodologies for solving specific problems. Currently active TAGs include:
##[http://collaborate.scec.org/gmsv Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)]
##[[Transient_Detection | Aseismic Transient Detection]]
##Source Inversion Validation (SIV)
##[http://scecdata.usc.edu/cvws/ Dynamic Rupture Code Validation]
##[[Earthquake_Simulators | Earthquake Simulators]]
##Committee for the [[UGMS | Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations (UGMS)]]
#Participating in the development and management of [[Community_Models | SCEC Community Models]] (aka "SCEC CXMs").
#Contributing to relevant projects that receive SCEC funding through the annual Science Collaboration Plan process.
#Participating in [[Event_Response | SCEC post-earthquake scientific response]] and development of simulations that support scenario exercises.
#Providing mentoring and training to support the SCEC intern programs (e.g. Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology).
#Developing and maintaining the web information systems infrastructure for many SCEC websites.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computational Platforms ==
[[File:platforms.png|400px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC/CME researchers integrate software and hardware to produce research computing systems we call computational platforms.]]
A computational platform is a vertically integrated collection of hardware, software, and people that provides a broadly useful research capability. The existing SCEC computational platforms are shown in figure at right.

== SCEC Base Program Activities ==
SCEC Special Projects are designed to align with the SCEC base program (aka "SCEC Core"), as well as the overall SCEC priorities, through careful planning and development of synergistic activities. These activities include:
#Working within the [https://www.scec.org/leadership#PC SCEC Science Planning Committe] (a) to develop the [https://www.scec.org/scienceplan annual Science Collaboration Plan], (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate [https://www.scec.org/reports/annual annual reports for the Center].
#Supporting and guiding when necessary the Technical Activity Groups (TAGs), which self-organize to develop and test critical methodologies for solving specific problems. Currently active TAGs include:
##[http://collaborate.scec.org/gmsv Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)]
##[[Transient_Detection | Aseismic Transient Detection]]
##Source Inversion Validation (SIV)
##[http://scecdata.usc.edu/cvws/ Dynamic Rupture Code Validation]
##[[Earthquake_Simulators | Earthquake Simulators]]
##Committee for the [[UGMS | Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations (UGMS)]]
#Participating in the development and management of [[Community_Models | SCEC Community Models]] (aka "SCEC CXMs").
#Contributing to relevant projects that receive SCEC funding through the annual Science Collaboration Plan process.
#Participating in [[Event_Response | SCEC post-earthquake scientific response]] and development of simulations that support scenario exercises.
#Providing mentoring and training to support the SCEC intern programs (e.g. Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology).
#Developing and maintaining the web information systems infrastructure for may SCEC websites.

[[File:platforms.png|400px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC/CME researchers integrate software and hardware to produce research computing systems we call computational platforms.]]
A computational platform is a vertically integrated collection of hardware, software, and people that provides a broadly useful research capability. The existing SCEC computational platforms are shown in figure at right.

== SCEC Base Program Activities ==
SCEC Special Projects are designed to align with the SCEC base program (aka "SCEC Core"), as well as the overall SCEC priorities, through careful planning and development of synergistic activities. These activities include:
#Working within the [https://www.scec.org/leadership#PC SCEC Science Planning Committe] (a) to develop the [https://www.scec.org/scienceplan annual Science Collaboration Plan], (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate [https://www.scec.org/reports/annual annual reports for the Center].
#Supporting and guiding when necessary the Technical Activity Groups (TAGs), which self-organize to develop and test critical methodologies for solving specific problems. Currently active TAGs include:
##[http://collaborate.scec.org/gmsv Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)]
##[[Transient_Detection | Aseismic Transient Detection]]
##Source Inversion Validation (SIV)
##[http://scecdata.usc.edu/cvws/ Dynamic Rupture Code Validation]
##[[Earthquake_Simulators | Earthquake Simulators]]
##Committee for the [[UGMS | Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations (UGMS)]]
#Participating in the development and management of [[Community_Models | SCEC Community Models]] (aka "SCEC CXMs").
#Contributing to relevant projects that receive SCEC funding through the annual Science Collaboration Plan process.
#Participating in [[Event_Response | SCEC post-earthquake scientific response]] and development of simulations that support scenario exercises.
#Providing mentoring and training to support the SCEC intern programs (e.g. Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology).
#Developing and maintaining the web information systems infrastructure for may SCEC websites.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computational Platforms ==
[[File:platforms.png|400px|thumb|right|Figure: SCEC/CME researchers integrate software and hardware to produce research computing systems we call computational platforms.]]
A computational platform is a vertically integrated collection of hardware, software, and people that provides a broadly useful research capability. The existing SCEC computational platforms are shown in figure at right.

== SCEC Base Program Activities ==
SCEC Special Projects are designed to align with the SCEC base program (aka "SCEC Core"), as well as the overall SCEC priorities, through careful planning and development of synergistic activities. These activities include:
#Working within the [https://www.scec.org/leadership#PC SCEC Science Planning Committe] (a) to develop the [https://www.scec.org/scienceplan annual Science Collaboration Plan], (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate [https://www.scec.org/reports/annual annual reports for the Center].
#Supporting and guiding when necessary the Technical Activity Groups (TAGs), which self-organize to develop and test critical methodologies for solving specific problems. Currently active TAGs include:
##[http://collaborate.scec.org/gmsv Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)]
##[[Transient_Detection | Aseismic Transient Detection]]
##Source Inversion Validation (SIV)

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

SCEC Special Projects are designed to align with the SCEC base program (aka "SCEC Core"), as well as the overall SCEC priorities, through careful planning and development of synergistic activities. These activities include:
#Working within the [https://www.scec.org/leadership#PC SCEC Science Planning Committe] (a) to develop the [https://www.scec.org/scienceplan annual Science Collaboration Plan], (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate [https://www.scec.org/reports/annual annual reports for the Center].
#Supporting and guiding when necessary the Technical Activity Groups (TAGs), which self-organize to develop and test critical methodologies for solving specific problems. Currently active TAGs include:
##[http://collaborate.scec.org/gmsv Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)]
##[[Transient_Detection | Aseismic Transient Detection]]
##Source Inversion Validation (SIV)
##[http://scecdata.usc.edu/cvws/ Dynamic Rupture Code Validation]
##[[Earthquake_Simulators | Earthquake Simulators]]
##Committee for the [[UGMS | Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations (UGMS)]]
#Participating in the development and management of [[Community_Models | SCEC Community Models]] (aka "SCEC CXMs").
#Contributing to relevant projects that receive SCEC funding through the annual Science Collaboration Plan process.
#Participating in [[Event_Response | SCEC post-earthquake scientific response]] and development of simulations that support scenario exercises.
#Providing mentoring and training to support the SCEC intern programs (e.g. Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology).
#Developing and maintaining the web information systems infrastructure for may SCEC websites.

== SCEC Computing Resources ==
In 2015, SCEC received allocations on national supercomputing facilities totaling 362 million service units through proposals to the NSF XSEDE and PRAC programs, the DOE INCITE program, and USC HPC. These valuable allocations give SCEC researchers the HPC resources required for computationally intensive earthquake science, directly leveraging NSF’s and DOE’s huge investments in supercomputing. The current rate of computer usage by the SCEC collaboratories is almost 1 million CPU-hours per day.

Priority tasks (taken [[Allocation_Development_Reporting_Access | from here]]):
#Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
#Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
#List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
#Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
#Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
#Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.
