This Wiki page describes the simulations that will be performed on the Broadband Platform to investigate footwall / hanging wall and directivity effects for NGA-W2. This simulation is expected to generate 205,776 3-component seismograms.

Hanging Wall Specifications

Robert Graves has written a specification for a set of footwall and hanging wall simulation in this document.

Computational Estimates


40 Scenarios per code base
36 Code base combinations

5716      Seismograms per simulation
1440      Simulations
205,776   Total seismograms
729 days  Total runtime

------------------
Seismograms per run (stations * variations):
Mw6.0: 105 * 9 
Mw6.5: 117 * 9 
Mw7.0: 163 * 11
Mw7.5: 175 * 11
------------------
Total: 5716 seismograms per run

Total simulation: 40*18*2 = 1440

Total Seismograms = 36*5716 = 205,776

Runtime: 
(6.0 ­ 40 mins, 6.5 ­ 2 hrs, 7.0 ­ 8 hrs, 7.5 ­ 34 hrs)
Mw6.0: (9*36) runs  *40 mins = 216 hrs
Mw6.5: (9*36) runs  *2 hrs   = 648 hrs
Mw7.0: (11*36) runs *8 hrs   = 3168 hrs
Mw7.5: (11*36) runs *34 hrs  = 13464 hrs
-------------------------------------------
Total runtime (1 core): 729 Days
