Dr. Jeroen Tromp, McMillan Professor of Geophysics and Director of the Seismology Lab, presided over the presentations. Included in the presentations was information on Caltech's newly developed ShakeMovies, These movies are created from simulations carried out on a large computer cluster built in the sub-basement of the seismology lab. The parallel processing computer cluster contains 512 dual quad core processors, is one of the fastest computers in academia, and one of the top 500 fastest computers in the world. The computer models seismic waves using data from digital seismograms and information on ground structure and outputs a movie showing ground displacement.
