Benchmark Study of a 3d Parallel Code for the Propagation of Large Subduction Earthquakes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Benchmark studies were carried out on a recently optimized parallel 3D seismic wave propagation code that uses finite differences on a staggered grid with 2 order operators in time and 4 order in space. Three dual-core supercomputer platforms were used to run the parallel program using MPI. Efficiencies of 0.91 and 0.48 with 1024 cores were obtained on HECToR (UK) and KanBalam (Mexico), and 0.66 with 8192 cores on HECToR. The 3D velocity field pattern from a simulation of the 1985 Mexico earthquake (that caused the loss of up to 30000 people and about 7 billion US dollars) which has reasonable agreement with the available observations, shows coherent, well developed surface waves propagating towards Mexico City.

3D Parallel Elastodynamic Modeling of Large Subduction Earthquakes
The 3D finite difference modeling of the wave propagation of M>8 earthquakes in subduction zones in a realistic-size earth is very computationally intensive task. We use a parallel finite difference code that uses second order operators in time and fourth order differences in space on a staggered grid. We develop an efficient parallel program using message passing interface (MPI) and a kinemati...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Generation and Propagation Due to Makran Subduction and run-up on Chabahar Bay and Makran Coasts
Makran subduction located at the northwest of the Indian Ocean nearby the southern coast of Iran and Pakistan. Makran subduction is the source of tsunamis that threaten southern coast of Iran. In this article, generation and propagation of 1945’s tsunami initiated by Makran subduction is simulated. For the three dimensional generation of the wave, advanced algorithm of Okada is adopted. The CFD...

This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...
متن کاملSplay Faults in the Makran Subduction Zone and Changes of their Transferred Coulomb Stress
The Makran subduction zone in northeast and the Sumatra subduction zone (Sunda) in the west have been known as tsunamigenic zones of the Indian Ocean. The 990 km long Makran subduction zone is located offshore of Iran, Pakistan and Oman. Similar to many subduction zones all over the world, the Makran accretionary prism is associated with an imbricate of thrust faults across the zone, which may ...
متن کاملA Message-Passing Distributed Memory Parallel Algorithm for a Dual-Code Thin Layer, Parabolized Navier-Stokes Solver
In this study, the results of parallelization of a 3-D dual code (Thin Layer, Parabolized Navier-Stokes solver) for solving supersonic turbulent flow around body and wing-body combinations are presented. As a serial code, TLNS solver is very time consuming and takes a large part of memory due to the iterative and lengthy computations. Also for complicated geometries, an exceeding number of grid...
