Project Abstract
 SCEC researchers make extensive use of research computing resources
and tools including high-performance and cloud computing, observational and simulated data,
community earth models, open-source scientific community software, and complex research
computing software stacks. A growing number of research projects also require improved
information sharing, data access and data delivery tools. The purpose of the shared SCEC research
computing (RC) and cyberinfrastructure (CI) is to identify and properly allocate the available
SCEC capabilities and resources in terms of software developer time to support projects funded
through the annual SCEC science collaboration process that have RC/CI needs.
SCEC Software and Capabilities: The RC/CI initiative provides critical support to SCEC
researchers working on a variety of SCEC-related projects including SCEC community models,
Ground motion simulation platforms, and seismic hazard modeling. Table 1 provides an overview
for the SCEC software and related capabilities that will be accessible through the shared platform.
Intellectual Merit Access to shared research computing and infrastructure resources
enables progress in science questions that rely on these resources for data analysis,
visualization, and high-performance computing.
Broader Impacts This funding provides support for SCEC developers which will help refine
SCEC science products in terms of IT services, data visualization, and data analysis, all of
which are relevant for the broader community and for the conduction, presentation and
dissemination of SCEC researchers’ science problems and results.
