35 SCEC Initiative in Extreme-Scale Computing! Goal: Collaborate with NSF and DOE leadership-class facilities to push the limits of extreme-scale computing by developing software for earthquake system science Develop codes that can achieve robustness, scalability, and computational efficiency on next-generation supercomputers Engage software and hardware developers in earthquake system science as a means for vertical integration of HPC cyberinfrastructure Software development plan focused on three computational pathways: large suites (> 10 6 ) of extended-source kinematic simulations to populate physics-based hazard models (CyberShake platform) moderate-sized suites (~ 10 4 ) of dynamic earthquake simulations to study the effects of material heterogeneities and nonlinearities on wave excitation and propagation (High-F platform) large suites (> 10 6 ) of compact-source kinematic simulations for full-3d tomographic inversions (F3DT platform)

36 Central California Seismic Project! Goal: to improve PSHA by reducing the epistemic uncertainties in the modeling of 3D path effects Achieving this goal will require the gathering of new seismic data Initial study phase will be focused in central California Centered on the Diablo Canyon NPP Initiated in January, 2015 Later phases could potentially extend structural studies statewide Long-term (10-yr) sponsorship by California utilities
