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.
