Programming and the Climate Dynamics Project,
Abstract
Programming for the ARPA funded Climate Dynamics Project is a mixed bag. The primary task is modeling the earth's atmosphere and oceans. The ramifications of that task are often amazing. They include use of the ILLIAC IV computer and the ARPA network, extremely large data bases (50 offline 2314 disk packs at present, and up to the equivalent of 420 online 2314's in the future), and graphic display systems. The wide variety of computers presently used by the project (370/158, 360/91, PDP-10, B6700 and ILLIAC IV) present numerous problems and languages for programmers to contend with. This paper will be an attempt to summarize all of this activity. (Author)
