Climate Modeling With Supercomputers

  / sciencereason   ... Climate and weather modeling with supercomputers. Climate modeling requires massive computational power. Until recently, that power required room sized machines with daunting technical and logistic requirements. But new advances in computer design, including hardware and software, continue to facilitate a paradigm shift. In an effort to broaden and democratize climate research tools, NASA has begun to facilitate the operation of new desktop sized supercomputers, with the goal of making it substantially easier for more researchers to do meaningful work on vital and essential questions for our world. --- Please SUBSCRIBE to Science & Reason: •    / best0fscience   •    / sciencetv   •    / ffreethinker   •    / rationalhumanism   --- NASA's challenging mission to explore space and understand the universe and the Earth within it requires the agency to innovatively apply and extend humankind's most advanced capabilities, technologies, and knowledge. High-end computing is one such powerful leading-edge tool. The mission of NASA's High-End Computing (HEC) Program is to: • Plan and provision high-end computing systems and services to support NASA's mission needs. Operate and manage these HEC resources for the benefit of agency users, customers, and stakeholders. • NASA's HEC resources are relied on as an essential and pervasive partner by the breadth of agency science, engineering, and technology activities, enabling rapid advances in insight and dramatically enhancing mission achievements. Four top-level HEC Program goals will lead to accomplishing the mission and achieving the vision: • Provide effective production HEC resources and services to enable pervasive, timely, and significant mission impacts. • Infuse HEC into NASA's scientific and engineering communities. • Assure preparedness to meet NASAs future modeling, simulation, and analysis needs. • Ensure that NASA HEC resources and activities are well-managed and wisely used. • http://www.hec.nasa.gov/ --- Modeling Climate at Warp Speed: Two new NASA technologies have squeezed 10 times more power out of climate-modeling supercomputers. • http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y20... .
