XSEDE 2016

XSEDE Renewal Research required Information:

• Title: SCEC Petascale Research: An Earthquake System Science Approach to Physics-based Seismic Hazard Research (TG-MCA03S012)

• Abstract: The SCEC Community Modeling Environment (SCEC/CME) research group includes researchers from the University of Southern California (USC), San Diego State University (SDSU), the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), University of Memphis, and other research organizations. The SCEC/CME collaboration performs a broad range of computational research using NSF and DOE computer resources. In this allocation renewal, we request XSEDE resources in order to perform two types of earthquake system science computational research that will benefit from use of XSEDE resources, and that use capabilities provided by XSEDE that are not available to us from any other sources. The requested XSEDE resources will enable the SCEC/CME research collaboration to perform computational seismic hazard research including time dependent earthquake forecasts and ground motion verification and validation simulations leading to improved probabilistic seismic hazard estimates.
