QUAKE

Overview

For Large-Scale Earthquake ground motion simulation, QUAKE team at CMU developed a Framework that includes Mesh Generator (Euclid, developed by Tu and O'Hallaron at CMU), Partitioner (ParMETIS, developed by Univ. of Minnesota) and Solver (QUAKE, developed by Kim, Bielak and Ghattas at CMU).
Below figure shows the framework for large-scale seismic ground motion simulation.
Since each component of the framework is implemented using standard and portable language and API, virtually they are available on any kind of machines that support MPI and ANSI C. In addition, out-of-core mesher, parallel partitioner and parallel solver allow one to perform extremely large scale ground motion simulation.

Software Download: Quake ver. 1.1 (tar-gziped)

Installation Guide

(1) Requirement: Unix or Linux based machines, MPI and ANSI C support.

(2) Installation: Please take a look at README file in each directory for easy starting

Download quake_ver_1.1.tar.gz
%]gunzip quake_ver_1.1.tar.gz
%]tar xvf quake_ver_1.1.tar
%]make

(3) Execution (Example): In DATA directory, there are example files as binary format.

%]cd ./DATA
