Programming Paradigms for Technical Computing on Clouds and Supercomputers.

Monday, May 7, 2012

QuakeSim co-investigator, Geoffrey Fox gave a plenary talk on "Programming Paradigms for Technical Computing on Clouds and Supercomputers" at the Microsoft Cloud Futures workshop May 7 at UC Berkeley. The QuakeTables fault sets have been imported into GeoServer for display with UAVSAR Repeat Pass Interferometry products on the InSAR Line of Site tool. Users can now specify end points, azimuth, and length of the profile line in additional to drawing the end points on the map. QuakeSim's crustal deformation tools were used to calculate deformation from the Golden Guardian exercise scenario earthquake and aftershock. QuakeSim's disloc was used to calculate the deformation for the 2008 ShakeOut mainshock scenario and an aftershock along the Cucamonga/Sierra Madre fault (rupturing from Cajon Pass to Monrovia in an M 7.2 event. The synthetic interferogram generated from disloc is being used as a layer in the JPL Google Earth API for the response exercise (http://ourocean3.jpl.nasa.gov/qvu/index.php). The displacement output can be used to calculate tilt maps. The E-DECIDER HAZUS kml service is being used in the exercise. It serves up a kml layer that displays the epicenter, faults, and high potential loss facilities from an event.
