A brief overview of the recent, on-going, and future activities for Technology Platforms 3 (Multi-disciplinary community datasets) and 4 (Simulation and Data Visualization) that Richard has been working on are:
Recent:
- Setting up this UC Wiki to be used by QuakeCoRE
- Survey of QuakeCoRE researchers' computational needs: https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/gA_2Fq_2BRrLNFBKyIUIvGCeDqMFFPw7rYm4cDe12uypGww_3D
- Presentation of the strategic partnership between NeSI and QuakeCoRE at Eresearch 2016: Clare_QuakeCoRE_NeSI_Collaboration_Eresearch2016.pdf
- Establishing a github repository for the ground motion software to enable version control and collaboration :
- Recruitment of two software engineers (Viktor Polak, and Sharmila's old page) to work on the two Technology Platforms
- Development of a Strategic Plan and Budget for these two Technology Platforms
- Streamlining of the ground motion station analysis post-processing software https://github.com/ucgmsim/groundMotionStationAnalysis (from Matlab code residing on local machines to parallelised Python on NeSI cluster under github version control)
- Completed Software Carpentry Instructor Certification (30 May 2016)
On-going:
- Porting of Emod3D code from BlueGeneP machine (being decommissioned mid 2016) to NIWA's Fitzroy machine (functional)
- Configuring the SPECFEM3D code on NIWA's Fitzroy machine
- Organisation of a Software Carpentry workshop for QuakeCoRE researchers to be held at the University of Canterbury on 22-23 June: http://richardclare.github.io/2016-06-22-Christchurch/
- Streamlining of the ground motion simulation workflow (especially conversion from C shell to Python based scripts)
- Developing the computational and data workflows of seismic response analyses (principally revolving around OpenSees); and seismic loss assessment (via OpenSLAT, OpenQuake and Riskscape/MERIT)
- Work with Bradley et al. (2016 QuakeCoRE RfP project) on a database for storing ground motion simulations that can be easily accessed by earthquake engineers for use in OpenSees analyses
- Work with Vargo et al. (2016 QuakeCoRE RfP project) on data needs for flagship 5 research activities in particular workshops on data organisation
Near future:
- Work with McGann et al. (2016 QuakeCoRE RfP project) on OpenSees data and computational workflows
- Streamlining of the pre-processing workflows for the three core computation and data workflows (from matlab on local machines to parallelised Python on NeSI cluster under github version control)
