UrgentShake: scientific article published in seismological research letters

A scientific article dedicated to UrgentShake, the pilot use case developed within the TeRABIT project, has been published in the international peer-reviewed journal Seismological Research Letters (SRL).

UrgentShake is an urgent computing system designed to rapidly generate earthquake ground-shaking scenarios based on physics-based simulations. It leverages a distributed architecture running on HPC and cloud infrastructures to execute numerical simulations in parallel, with the aim of providing timely and reliable ground motion estimates following a major earthquake.

Thanks to the advanced network and computing infrastructure provided by TeRABIT, the OGS (National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics) can now access cutting-edge HPC resources and integrate urgent computing capabilities, significantly reducing processing times and improving the quality of information delivered to Civil Protection authorities for emergency management.
