title = "Performance Evaluation of Tsunami Inundation Simulation on SX-Aurora TSUBASA",
abstract = "As tsunamis may cause damage in wide area, it is difficult to immediately understand the whole damage. To quickly estimate the damages of and respond to the disaster, we have developed a real-time tsunami inundation forecast system that utilizes the vector supercomputer SX-ACE for simulating tsunami inundation phenomena. The forecast system can complete a tsunami inundation and damage forecast for the southwestern part of the Pacific coast of Japan at the level of a 30-m grid size in less than 30 min. The forecast system requires higher-performance supercomputers to increase resolutions and expand forecast areas. In this paper, we compare the performance of the tsunami inundation simulation on SX-Aurora TSUBASA, which is a new vector supercomputer released in 2018, with those on Xeon Gold and SX-ACE. We clarify that SX-Aurora TSUBASA achieves the highest performance among the three systems and has a high potential for increasing resolutions as well as expanding forecast areas.",
