Using UCVM Docker Image
The SCEC UCVM developers are using container technology called Docker to distributed UCVM software. When distributed as a Docker image, UCVM users do not need to compile the UCVM software on their computer before using it.
One advantage of UCVM Docker images is they can be run on Mac, and Windows computers. This makes it possible for researcher with Mac or Window laptops (or servers) to run UCVM on their computer.
Typically, Docker images are useful for small to moderate scale UCVM queries up to 1M or so points. Larger scale queries, such as large simulation meshes, will probably still require UCVM source code installation on a Linux system.
Most registered CVM's are available as standalone UCVM Docker Images. The current list of models, using their UCVM abbreviations:
- cvms : CVM-S4 Southern California 3d Model - Magistrale/Kohler/Clayton/Graves
- cvmh : CVM-H v15.1 Southern California 3D Model - Harvard
- cvms5 : CVM-S4.26 - Chen/Jordan 3D tomography-based 3D model
- cca : CCA06 - Lee/Chen/Jordan Central Calfornia tomography-based 3D model
- cvmsi : CVM-S4.26.M01 - CVM-S4.26 with GTL properties from CVM-S4 restored to the top 350m
- cencal : USGS Central and Northern California 3D models
- albacore : ALBACORE - Offshore southern California 3D model derived from ocean-bottom seismometers
- cvlsu : Coachella Valley - 3D model developed using Salton Seismic Imaging Project (SSIP) dense seismic array data
- ivlsu : Imperial Valley - 3D model developed using Salton Seismic Imaging Project (SSIP) dense seismic array data
- wfcvm : Wasatch Front Utah Model - 3D model for Wasatch Front and Salt Lake City region.
The scripts and instructions how to run and build UCVM Docker images have been moved to a github UCVM Docker repo at:
