CIG Seismo Web Portal's Processor Capacity Expanded
The CIG Seismology Web Portal, which provides on-demand simulations of seismic wave propagation, has had its processor capability enhanced to 1014 processors, via the TeraGrid Ranger's Hero queue.
This new configuration has been tested up to 1014 processors on a global mesh which is capable of resolving waves of the shortest period of 7 seconds. At this resolution, the longest seismogram record length is about 30 minutes.
