Abstract

The new Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator (ACcESS) research facility provides a virtual laboratory for studying the solid Earth and its complex system behavior. The facility's capabilities complement those developed by overseas groups, thereby creating the infrastructure for an international computational solid Earth research virtual observatory. This new facility will consist of a high-level computational framework, parallel software, and supercomputer hardware for solid Earth simulation. The ACsESS simulator facility includes capabilities to model rocks and granular systems at the particle scale, dynamics of crustal fault systems and geological processes.
