The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) relies on the power of supercomputers to simulate why and how earthquakes occur, evaluate their effects, and help societies prepare for, survive and recover from quakes.To that end, SCEC uses the Texas Advanced Computing Center’s Frontera supercomputer to produce dynamic models of earthquake processes. This work has helped SCEC improve the predictability of earthquake system models, simulate earthquake events and promote a safer society that’s more resilient to earthquakes.For this work, SCEC has won an HPCwire Readers’ Choice Award in the “Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences” category. The award was announced Monday, November 15 at SC21, the international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis.To read this article in full, please click her
