Connection Machine Software Conversion of the Navy TOPS Model

Abstract

The introduction of highly parallel machines with peak performance significantly exceeding the Cray machines has sparked interest in running scientific models on these new architectures. This report describes a software conversion, of the Navy model called TOPS, starting with a Cray Y-MP/8 version in Fortran 77 and ending with a Fortran 90 version for the Connection Machine CM-5. Data mapping, conversion planning, and performance points of view are considered. Connection machine, Fortran 90, Ocean modeling.
