SISMO-DGTD is a software for the simulation of time domain seismic wave propagation. It implements a solution method for the velocity-stress equations in the time domain. SISMO-DGTD is based on a discontinuous Galerkin method formulated on unstructured triangular (2D case) or tetrahedral (3D case) meshes [6] . Within each element of the mesh, the components of the electromagnetic field are approximated by a arbitrary high order nodal polynomial interpolation method. This discontinuous Galerkin method combines a centered scheme for the evaluation of numerical fluxes at a face shared by two neighboring elements, with an explicit Leap-Frog time scheme. The software and the underlying algorithms are adapted to distributed memory parallel computing platforms thanks to a paralleization strategy that combines a partitioning of the computational domain with a message passing programming using the MPI standard.
