Phil Maechling, a computer scientist at USC’s Southern California Earthquake Center shares how they are using the Tesla GPU-accelerated Titan and Blue Waters supercomputers with CUDA to analyze the impact of earthquakes and why and when they occur. “Instead of waiting for earthquakes to happen, we do physics-based simulations of “scenario” earthquakes,” said Maechling. “We…
