Project Abstract
 We addressed the problem of developing and disseminating improved simulator technology using the Virtual Quake software platform. In the previous cycle we focused on the development of RELM-type forecast testing methods. We have continued to post/port codes to public code repositories such as CIG and GIT, along with improved documentation, so that colleagues can more readily use and test the codes under development. Most recently we have built a Docker Image that allows individuals to download and run the code easily, due to the inclusion of all necessary libraries, compilers and interpreters in the package. We have also examined and characterized faults using their fractal properties, and we continue to make progress in this area.
Intellectual Merit Improvement of earthquake simulators
Broader Impacts More accurate earthquake forecast technology
