SCEC's UCVM Software is scientific software used to query seismic velocity models for California and other regions. UCVM is designed to be compiled and run on Linux computers. UCVM involves C, C++, FORTRAN, and python software and uses open-source Linux operating systems and compilers. Compiling the UCVM distribution can be a challenge for researchers. SCEC is evaluating Docker virtualization technology as a way to simplify the use of UCVM. By starting docker on their Linux, Mac, or PC, they can run a pre-built version of UCVM without installing it. We are using this repo to manage our docker prototypes.
Geoscientists interested in crustal seismic velocity information may use SCEC UCVM software as a standard method for querying the models. Here we prototype Docker-based distributions of UCVM and SCEC seismic velocity models. Scientists interested in querying any of 9 U.S. seismic velocity models.
- Research wants to use ucvm to query velovity model but doesn't have an admin to build the software on a linux system.
- They want to install Docker on their computer (Linux,mac,pc)
- They create an account on dockerhub
- Log into dockerhub
- Start docker server on local computer
- start docker image of ucvm plus one SCEC CVM.
docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,destination=/app/target sceccode/ucvm_cvmh:07021555
Docker will look on your local system, and will look on dockerhub and retrieve it from there when it is not found locally.
