Abstract :
Two research projects are working toward petascale computation for earthquake engineering. The E-Simulator project aims to reproduce a world-class shake-table test, while the Integrated Earthquake Simulation (IES) project seamlessly simulates three key earthquake processes to provide vital information about potential earthquake hazards and disasters.
