Title: Scaled-up Physics-based Simulations for Earthquake System Science
Short description: Dynamic simulations of fault ruptures and seismic wave propagation cannot yet achieve the physical scale range needed to explore important domains of earthquake behavior. This talk presents the recent technical effects in scaling up a community finite difference code on advanced heterogeneous supercomputers. We illustrate the acceleration of the critical strain tensor calculations, coupled with co-scheduling capabilities of workflow-managed systems, and how to make a statewide hazard model a goal reachable with existing supercomputers
