Suren Byna of the Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Quincey Koziol of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), which is located at Berkeley Lab, are among the co-principal investigators for the ExaHDF5 project. They spoke with Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Communications at SC17. This is an edited transcript of the conversation.
Assessing Regional Earthquake Risk and Hazards in the Age of Exascale
With emerging exascale supercomputers, researchers will soon be able to accurately simulate the ground motions of regional earthquakes quickly and in unprecedented detail, as well as predict how these movements will impact energy infrastructure—from the electric grid to local power plants—and scientific research facilities.
