Use the most powerful supercomputer in the world to simulate the earthquake that should affect California in the next thirty years, in order to better understand, analyze and prevent risks. The software developed by researchers at the University of Berkeley, Earthquake Simulation (Eqsim), reproduces earthquake risks, from fault ruptures to surface ground movements, and the response of infrastructures to shaking, by capturing the interaction between seismic waves and infrastructure systems. Hence the need for large computing capacities. Installed at the Oak Ridge laboratory, Frontier is the first supercomputer to have crossed the bar of the exascale, or 1018 operations per second.
