SlabGenerator: Improving Productivity for Subduction Modeling
Poster presented at SIAM CSE17 PP108 Minisymposterium: Software Productivity and Sustainability for CSE and Data Science
With the advent of efficient and scalable mantle convection
code, such as Citcom, the vast majority of user time
in subduction modeling is spent constructing a problem instance through data assimilation, most often manually. Many
different data modalities need to be combined with analytical modeling. In addition, any software must also interoperate
with complex, existing packages for mantle convection. The SlabGenerator software generates thermal and viscosity
structures for large scale mantle convection simulations, processing many different data sources, greatly increasing
user productivity.
