NVIDIA GPUs, AI, And Deep Learning Used To Develop Quake Early Warning System

There are already networks in place that can detect seismic activity and send an alert as soon as an earthquake is underway. But the current technology doesn't actually send the alert until all of the sensors in the network covering a given area have detected seismic waves. And it could take about a minute from the moment activity is initially detected until an alert hits the wire. A minute is a long time in an emergency. Government agencies, public works, and local utilities ideally need to alert the populace and do things like halt trains and shut off power lines to potentially mitigate damage – every second counts.
