Our #SC25 paper

“Real-Time Bayesian Inference at Extreme Scale: A Digital Twin for Tsunami Early Warning Applied to the Cascadia Subduction Zone”

is available at dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

We were lucky to get access to awesome machines like #ElCapitan and #Alps, where we were able to push the boundaries of large-scale finite element simulations. Thank you LLNL and @cscsch.bsky.social for this opportunity! 🙏

This was also a great collaboration with the brilliant StefanHenneking, Omar Ghattas, Alice-Agnes Gabriel, Sreeram Venkat and Milinda Fernando. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to work with them, and we excited to continue push forward and upward together in the future. 🚀

It was an unbelievable honor to win the 2025 ACM Gordon Bell Prize with #TeamCascadia last week! 🏆

This is the culmination of many years of work by the #MFEM team and just one example of the power that GPU-accelerated high-order finite elements can bring to #HPC applications 🙌

🏅This Scripps Oceanography seismologist & a team of scientists from @utaustin.bsky.social & the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory just won the Nobel Prize of supercomputing! 💻⚡

Congrats to @inseismoland.bsky.social, who earned the @acm.org Gordon Bell Prize! 🧵⬇️

Reader’s Choice Award for Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences - Thank you!
And a huge thank you to the interdisciplinary team making all of this possible: Stefan Henneking, Sreeram Venkat, Veselin Dobrev, John Camier, Tzanio Kolev, Milinda Fernando, and Omar Ghattas.

Thank you to the HPCwire readers for the “Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences” award!

A great start to #SC25, our team received the 2025 Hyperion Research #HPC Innovation Excellence Award for advancing real-time tsunami early warning on the world’s fastest supercomputers.

Heading to #SC25 where our “Team Cascadia” presents the digital-twin #HPC framework integrating Bayesian inference at extreme scale towards real-time, physics-based tsunami early warning that earned us a place among this year’s ACM Gordon Bell Prize finalists.
All presentations:

Join #TeamCascadia at #SC25 to learn more about the collaboration between @utaustin.bsky.social, @ucsandiego.bsky.social and the 𝗠𝗙𝗘𝗠 team at LLNL on tsunami modeling 🌊 on the world's largest HPC supercomputers.

Make time at #SC25 to visit the #ArtOfHPC exhibition - beauty and science all in one place - well worth a few minutes of your time
