The Analysis of Tempo-Spatial Correlation Characteristics between Strong Earthquakes Based on Parallel Computing

Abstract

A modified earthquake prediction model based on At-value is introduced in this paper, which is improved by using the parallel computing techniques. The At-value is employed to analyze and compare the strain energy that is released in an earthquake, and gives the tempo-spatial correlation characteristics between strong earthquakes. After calculation, a picture of At-value distribution can be drawn and provide us some visual information for earthquake monitoring. Experimental results have demonstrated that the parallel computing techniques can process tremendous amount of seismic data and reduce the calculation time of At-value greatly.
