The document discusses the Cloud-Quake project, which aims to minimize execution time for near-real time earthquake shake map calculations using Azure. By leveraging various cloud services, the project reduced the execution time for shake map calculations to under 10 minutes. It highlights benefits such as reduced costs and the elimination of infrastructure maintenance.
Cloud-Quake , Global Azure Bootcamp 2016
- 1. Cloud-Quake Collection and public Dissemination of near-real time earthquake shaking information using Azure George Spyrou , Software Engineer
- 2. Cloud-Quake
- 3. The problem: Minimize the execution time for shake maps calculations in near real time
- 4. SMSIM , Fortran programs for simulating ground motions from earthquakes • Console application • Written in Fortran • Text files as input & output • Execution time ~ 2 minutes / station • Independent calculation for each station
- 5. Architecture Worker roles Table storage Blob storage Queue storage Management API
- 6. Geophysics lab (Linux) Azure cloud Earthquake queue Start cloud service Stations Results Shake map Partition Reducer Simulation
- 7. Demo
- 9. Benefits • Execution time was minimized to < 10 minutes • Reduced cost because the Cloud-Quake is executed only a few times per month • No need for maintaining infrastructure
