SPICE workshop Venice 2004 Motivation There is a wide gap between theoretical/numerical and observational seismology Computational power is now such that 3D numerical approaches to wave propagation will enter routine data fitting procedures (e.g. source or structural imaging) or monitoring The scientific value of 3D simulation data is continuously increasing (e.g. earthquake scenario simulations, global wave propagation) There is little or no infrastructure supporting software development and large data volume handling in the Earth science community The community in computational seismology is fragmented There is a wide gap between theoretical/numerical and observational seismology Computational power is now such that 3D numerical approaches to wave propagation will enter routine data fitting procedures (e.g. source or structural imaging) or monitoring The scientific value of 3D simulation data is continuously increasing (e.g. earthquake scenario simulations, global wave propagation) There is little or no infrastructure supporting software development and large data volume handling in the Earth science community The community in computational seismology is fragmented Why SPICE?

SPICE workshop Venice 2004 Computers and waves Computational power has reached a state where we can expect to numerically simulate 3D wave fields in the observed frequency bands. Local seismology: 5x5x5km 10 Hz Regional seismology: 150x150x80km 2 Hz Global seismology (sections): 1 s Global seismology (whole): 5 s Computational power has reached a state where we can expect to numerically simulate 3D wave fields in the observed frequency bands. Local seismology: 5x5x5km 10 Hz Regional seismology: 150x150x80km 2 Hz Global seismology (sections): 1 s Global seismology (whole): 5 s Cut-off frequency Simulations like this require O(10-100) GB RAM and parallel programming Why SPICE?
SPICE workshop Venice 2004 What is (was) missing? -Earth Sciences curriculae usually do not provide training in numerical methods and/or parallel programming. -There is little interaction between the more applied side of wave propagation (exploration) and the more general seismology (even though methodologies are very similar) -We envisage substantial increase in the use of 3D methods in all fields of wave propagation -Seismologists need a toolbox with verified open- source codes for 3D wave propagation -Earth Sciences curriculae usually do not provide training in numerical methods and/or parallel programming. -There is little interaction between the more applied side of wave propagation (exploration) and the more general seismology (even though methodologies are very similar) -We envisage substantial increase in the use of 3D methods in all fields of wave propagation -Seismologists need a toolbox with verified open- source codes for 3D wave propagation Why SPICE?
