BBP 14.10 Image
Contents
Overview
The BBP Image used during the 2014 VISE workshop contained proprietary software, that SCEC does not have permission to distribute. To provide access to BBP software while we prepare a fully-open source BBP distribution, we have created an unofficial release of the BBP that contains only some of the processing methods and capabilities of the full v14.3 distribution.
Distribution
We are distribution BBP v14.10 as a Virtual Box Image. To use this version of the BBP, you will need to install the Virtual Box software. There are version of Virtual Box for most operating systems including Mac, Windows, a Linux. The use of Virtual Box makes is easier for us to distribute, and for users to run, the BBP software which was designed to run on Linux computers.
Instructions for downloading Virtual Box can be found here:

The BBP source code, python components, test data, and associated data files are collected in the following Virtual Box image. This is similar to a tar, or zip file, in that it collects a number of smaller files into one large file. To run the BBP v14.10 in Virtual Box, download the following image.

Disclaimer
The BBP v14.10 is an unofficial distribution of the Broadband Platform. We consider this an un-official version of the software for two reasons.
- This distribution contains a partial list of processing methods. BBP v14.3 contains six ground motion methods. BBP v14.10 contains only 3 methods.
- Previous BBP distributions including v14.3 were carefully tested and evaluate. This distribution has not been through the same carefully evaluation process.
We have created BBP v14.10 to ensure continued access to the BBP while we make necessary modifications. We expect the next official release for the Broadband Platform to be release before end of 2014.
