[STT55-02] Earthquake Simulations running on K computer

*Tsuyoshi ICHIMURA¹ (1.Earthquake Research Institute,The University of Tokyo)

Keywords:Simulation, High performance computing, Computational science

Large-scale high fidelity model can be constructed with recent accumulation of spatial data. Although computational cost of earthquake simulations using such model is huge, supercomputer (e.g. K computer) is now resolving difficulties and creating new frontier in this field. In this presentation, recent illustrative examples (crust deformation, earthquake ground motion, soil amplification, city response etc.) will be shown.
