NPR-NRL-VT- UUIC Collaboration on Navy Atmosphere-Ocean Coupled Models on Many-Core Computer Architectures
Abstract
The main goal for ESPC-NUMA is to create a high fidelity atmospheric hurricane model. Key features planned include: high -order discontinuous Galerkin discretizations, time-dependent mesh adaptivity to accurately model band formation, consistent warm rain model, LEs turbulence model, and accelerated compute kernals. The ever increasing pace of improvement in the state-of-the-art high performance computing technology promises enhanced capabilities for the next-generation atmospheric models. In this project we primarily consider incorporating state of the art numerical methods and algorithms to enable the Nonhydrostatic Unified Model of the Atmosphere, also known as NUMA, to fully exploit the current and future generations of parallel many-core computers. This includes sharing the tools developed for NUMA (through open-source) with the U.S. climate modeling community that can synergistically move the knowledge of accelerator-based computing to many of the climate, weather, and ocean laboratories around the country.
