== 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

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 from here):

  1. Define a mechanism for SCEC Core computing request in the allocation planning process.
  2. Map research projects and simulations to computing systems.
  3. List all important dates for managing allocations, including start/end dates, due dates (for requests and reports) and all pertinent meetings.
  4. Synchronize development of allocation requests to avoid gaps and/or overlapping research proposed in multiple requests.
  5. Establish policy for extending allocations and requesting supplements to allocations.
  6. Standardize approval process for allocation access requests.

SCEC Computational Platforms

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:

  1. Working within the SCEC Science Planning Committe (a) to develop the annual Science Collaboration Plan, (b) to coordinate activities relevant to SCEC science priorities, and (c) to generate annual reports for the Center.
  2. 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:
    1. Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV)
    2. Aseismic Transient Detection
    3. Source Inversion Validation (SIV)
    4. Dynamic Rupture Code Validation
    5. Earthquake Simulators
    6. Committee for the Utilization of Ground Motion Simulations (UGMS)
  3. Participating in the development and management of SCEC Community Models (aka "SCEC CXMs").
  4. Contributing to relevant projects that receive SCEC funding through the annual Science Collaboration Plan process.
  5. Participating in SCEC post-earthquake scientific response and development of simulations that support scenario exercises.
  6. Providing mentoring and training to support the SCEC intern programs (e.g. Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology).
  7. Developing and maintaining the web information systems infrastructure for many SCEC websites.
