SCEC participated in an NSF Exascale workshop in Arlington on 29 July 2010 called Community Input on the Future of High-Performance Computing Workshop #2 - Application Drivers for Exascale Computing and Data Cyberinfrastructure.

• Workshop Agenda
• SCEC/CME Presentation at Workshop:

An earthquake shook southern California early today, causing little damage but worrying residents who fear a massive disaster like those recently seen in Haiti and Chile.

The quake was measured at a 4.4 magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was centered about one mile from Pico Rivera, Calif., and about 11 miles from the Los Angeles Civic Center.

The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) has been awarded $10 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop computing capabilities that will lead to better forecasts of when and where earthquakes are likely to occur in southern California, and how the ground will shake as a result.

The five year project will develop the ability for scientists to improve computer models of how the Earth is structured and how the ground moves during earthquakes. The project team includes collaborating researchers from SCEC, the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) at USC, the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC), the Incorporated Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), and the USGS.

These Earth scientists and computer scientists will create an online collaborative laboratory-- a "collaboratory"-- allowing scientists from across the country to conduct science together in much more effective ways than are currently possible. This facility will be called the "SCEC Community Modeling Environment."
