Faster than real time tsunami modeling

Abstract: This is a set of 5 transfer projects since 2015, where we develop numerical models for earthquake and landslide generated tsunamis and their efficient implementation on multi-GPU architectures. The numerical models have been exhaustively tested against laboratory data and real events and they have been integrated in the Tsunami Early Warning System developed  by the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research (NCTR), located at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL).
