There’s a lot of talk about automation these days, not just in manufacturing circles but also the news in general.

Exascale Simulations Underpin Quake-Resistant Infrastructure Design

Large Image Caption

This illustration featuring earthquake simulation data from the San Francisco Bay Area shows how seismic energy is shaped and directed by local geology, and how buildings and infrastructure respond to intense ground shaking.
