In this context, Bayesian inference provides valuable insights into model parameters by combining simulation models with real-world data. Such Bayesian parameter inference with uncertainty quantification (UQ) requires numerous simulation runs and is therefore often computationally infeasible. Already, a single high-fidelity earthquake simulation - governed by a linear hyperbolic seismic wave equation coupled nonlinearly to a friction law and plastic deformation - is computationally expensive. In this study, we investigate the use of fused ensemble simulations to accelerate large earthquake simulation workflows and UQ studies. We implement and evaluate this approach in SeisSol, a high-performance computing software for the simulation of complex earthquake events that uses an Arbitrary high-order DERivative Discontinuous Galerkin (ADER-DG) scheme. Via fused ensembles, we turn the element-local small sparse/dense matrix operations into tensor contractions working on a dense rank-3 tensor and sparse matrices. These are again executed via loops of small, sparse/dense matrix operations, but with better computational efficiency, due to better exploitation of SIMD instructions on CPUs. We also compare two implementation variants (with different implementation effort) for kernels modeling non-linear dynamic rupture and effects of material plasticity. Our results demonstrate that fused simulations can be up to 5.54 times faster than a single execution - though this depends strongly on the discretization order, the problem size, and the compute architecture. For a full UQ example workflow, we demonstrate a speedup of 1.6, resulting in 36% savings in node hours for the entire workflow.</p>","PeriodicalId":44484,"journal":{"name":"GEM-International Journal on Geomathematics","volume":"17 1","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13065561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147677347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been numerous works that have used these analysis techniques for the description of a great variety of real porous media. However, these studies are usually comparative, being difficult to discern the role played by the pore size and pore distribution in the results of fractal and multifractal analysis. This works develops an in-depth study of different synthetic porous media from a fractal and multifractal approach, in which both the pore size and its distribution in the medium are parameterized. Thus, a set of synthetic binary images have been generated obtaining deterministic and random structures with different fixed pore sizes and also with different rates of pore sizes. Lacunarity is also calculated in order to complete the aforementioned analysis. Results evinces that fractal dimension increases with pore size and that it is higher when the pore distribution obeys a random distribution versus a deterministic one. However, when the pore size is very large, fractal dimension is similar regardless of the pore distribution. From a multifractal approach, pore size is negatively correlated with the degree of multifractality. In fact, in images with mixtures of different pore sizes it is also found that the greater the ratio of small pores, the greater degree of multifractality. By contrast, when the ratio of large pores is relevant, the degree of multifractality also increases due to the merging of macro-pores.","PeriodicalId":44484,"journal":{"name":"GEM-International Journal on Geomathematics","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
