CME Collaboration Working on the PetaScale Computing

The SCEC Community Modeling Environment: An Information Infrastructure for System-Level Earthquake Research (SCEC/CME) (NSF EAR-0122464) Project concluded on September 31, 2007. We thank the collaborators for their excelent work and we thank the NSF for the opportunity to perform this collaborative research. We believe the SCEC/CME evolved into an outstanding example of the type of interdisciplinary research originally envisioned by the NSF Information Technology Research (ITR) Program. The SCEC/CME project gave geoscientists an opportunity to work with world-leaders in computer science and through these colloborations the scale of the SCEC simulations has grown enormously. Also, the very challenging SCEC geoscientic research programs have movitived significant new developments in data management, knowledge management, high performance computing, and scientific workflows.

The SCEC/CME Collaboration continues to perform a program of large-scale, computationally-intensive, geoscientific research utilizing High Performance Computing (HPC) with funding from the NSF under the following grants:

Petascale Cyberfacility for Physics-based Seismic Hazard Analysis Research Project (PetaSHA-1) (NSF EAR-0623704)

Enabling Earthquake System Science Through Petascale Calculations (PetaShake) (NSF OCI-749313)

Geoinformatics: A Petascale Cyberfacility for Physics-Based Seismic Hazard Analysis (PetaSHA-2) (NSF EAR - 074493).

Please visit the SCEC PetaSHA/PetaShake web site for our current activities.

SCEC Community Modeling Environment (CME) Home Page

Welcome to the SCEC Community Modeling Environment (CME) web site.

We have developed a geophysics and IT collaboratory that will perform seismic hazard analysis and geophysical modeling. This is the informational portion of our site, where we provide information and tools for collaborators and the public. A computational testbed is also under development. When available, the computational testbed will allow you to assemble and run seismological and geophysical simulations. This diagram summarizes the capabilities and technologies we are incorporating into our system.
