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 [2] . Within each element of the mesh, the components of the electromagnetic field are approximated by an 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 parallelization strategy that combines a partitioning of the computational domain with a message passing programming using the MPI standard.
