Recently, a large group of experts led by a team from the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego managed to perform peta-scale simulations of the internal structure of the planet, breaking various records and barriers in the process. This is supposed to enable seismology experts to devise seismic models of wave propagation at frequencies of a wee bit over a second, similar to those going on in nature.The team was the runner-up in the yearly competition for ...
