INCITE

Through the DOE Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) Program, SCEC scientists use the DOE Oak Ridge and Argonne Leadership Computing Facilities to develop petascale seismic hazard simulations that can provide ground motion forecasts for the largest earthquakes at frequencies higher than 1 Hz.

Current research makes extensive use of two INCITE computers:

• Intrepid (Blue Gene/P)
• Jaguar (Cray XT5)
