Benchmarking Atmospheric Models on BTC/Opus Itanium Cluster


EMSL Project ID
2641

Abstract

The objective of this project is to benchmark atmospheric models used at the National Center for Atmospheric Research on the PNNL Itanium Linux cluster. The initial effort will concentrate on porting and benchmarking the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM3) and the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). In addition to the application benchmarks several lightweight benchmarks will be used to study communication efficiency and network scalability to aid in determining system performance.
