| Main objective / mission | Employing urgent supercomputing to obtain fast (hours) shaking maps for regions affected by recent earthquakes |
| Workflow description | UCIS4EQ connects to geological databases and establishes live whether a suitable event has taken place, according to its location and magnitude. It then prepares input files for a seismic simulation code and manages the jobs at HPC centers. The results are retrieved and sent to relevant stakeholders. The goal is full automation with few manual verification steps still in place. |
| Tested architectures | Partial tests at MareNostrum4 |
| Target TRL | 5-6 View TRL chart |
| Relevant stakeholders | Civil protection and insurance companies are target users. Geological services are input providers. |
| Achievements up to M41 | The first partial runs of the system, plus developments towards populating the parameter space of the source, which is highly uncertain when the event is first registered. |

For very high frequencies (which affect e.g. smaller buildings and infrastructures) capability is required, which is guaranteed by the extreme scalability of codes involved. In terms of capacity, we need to explore uncertainty. This is done at workflow level.
Much higher spatial resolution and frequency. Potentially addressing parts of the uncertainty such as source inversion. Direct reduction in time to solution.
Mostly resilience and the QoS of the system. We foresee issues related to the scale of very high-frequency runs.
The seismic codes are being part of a large-scale benchmark within the ChEESE project.
