CHAMMP Review
Abstract
CHAMMP (Computer Hardware, Advanced Mathematics and Model Physics) is a new DOE program designed to move climate models from the current generation of supercomputers to massively parallel computers of the future. The general computing goal of CHAMMP is to provide a ten thousandfold increase in computing speed. Within the current climate modeling community, the primary motivation for increased speed is the desire to achieve much higher geographical resolution in the models, which would allow the regional predictions desired by policy makers. As planning for CHAMMP has evolved, issues other than those of spatial resolution have received increased attention. These issues include predictability, improvement of model performance by use of modern software engineering, the relationship of CHAMMP to other proposed modeling efforts, etc. This report provides an overview of these issues.
