Requirements

This code leverages machine-learning for earthquake detection. You should have suitable hardward to run CUDA/Tensorflow, which usually means some sort of GPU. This has been tested on servers with nVidia compute cards, but also runs well on a modest multi-core with gaming PC nVidia card. The event-mode can be run efficiently enough on a laptop.

Running easyQuake

The example runs easyQuake for a recent M6.5 earthquake in Idaho
