The Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP) is developing the infrastructure for facilities to conduct earthquake forecast experiments. It provides controlled integration environment with standardized software stack for developing and installing of forecast experiments. The processing infrastructure has to allow for rapid computations using distributed computing facilities but also needs to run on desktop computers for research activities. Module design of the CSEP software focuses on reproducibility of any forecast experiment. Furthermore, program codes need to be validated and distributed to other than Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) testing facilities. We will discuss the design challenges and present the software concept, development strategies, ways for participating in development, and the flexibility for customizing of our open-source software.
