Technosylva has partnered with PSSC Labs to expand the scale and speed of its wildfire prediction capabilities through a dedicated high-performance computing (HPC) platform. Built to support utilities, emergency planners, and fire management agencies, the system runs over one billion fire scenarios each day, generating near real-time risk assessments across wide geographic regions.
At the core is an 11,500-core system designed specifically for fire modeling applications. Operating at a 2-kilometer resolution, it integrates data from thousands of sources and runs simulations every few hours. The platform synthesizes elements like vegetation conditions, wind shifts based on terrain, crown fire behavior, and fuel moisture data—much of it going beyond publicly available meteorological models.
