Part of the Research Computing Ecosystem at UC Davis
HPC@UCD is one of many organizations on the UC Davis campus providing tools and support for research computing. We partner most closely with DataLab but there are a multitude of resources across campus that will partner together to support your research computing needs.
Advancing our understanding of the Earth's interior
Liang Xue is interested in the interactions between climate-driven surface processes and solid Earth dynamics. He uses HPC@UCD resources to investigate these dynamics, running fully coupled geodynamic and surface process models that simulate tectonic and sedimentary processes in rift environments.
These simulations rely on adaptive meshing and efficient parallel computing to solve complex equations, making HPC essential to his workflow.
