Status Report: Parallel Ocean Circulation on Cedar
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present recent results from the design of the GFDL ocean circulation model for the Cedar multicluster architecture. The model simulates the basic aspects of largescale, baroclinic ocean circulation, including treatment of irregular bottom topography. We concentrate on several modifications and versions of the code that are designed to exploit the memory and computational hierarchy of Cedar, and to exploit the details of the land topography in the three dimensional domain.

Parallel Ocean Circulation Modeling on Cedar
In order to conduct faithful simulations of ocean circulation one needs considerable computational power and storage capabilities. We study the parallelization of a three-dimensional ocean circulation model (OCM) and provide summary results from recent experiments on the Cedar hierarchical architecture. A major goal of our effort is to obtain guidelines for the proper design of OCM codes for pa...
متن کامل3-D Land Avoidance and Load Balancing in Regional Ocean Simulation
We present methods designed to enhance the performance of a parallel ocean circulation model (OCM). The underlying code is based on a primitive equations model of the Mediterranean Sea. We examine the characteristics of this basin and study the tradeoos between minimizing computations by avoiding sweeping over land areas vs. the higher computational rates achieved otherwise for a cluster based ...

متن کاملParallelization of a Local Area Ocean Model
In this paper we describe the parallelization of a local area ocean circulation model using HPF. We nd that this particular problem, leading to a typical data parallel algorithm is easily expressed in HPF. The problems which occurs is mainly due to restrictions in the current HPF-compilers. We have run our program on 3 diierent platforms, using diierent HPF-compilers. and will report on the sta...

In this paper we present some results on the implementation of atmosphere and ocean circulation models on massively parallel computers. These circulation models are enormous computationally demanding tasks and play an indispensable role in climate modelling. Therefore they have an important impact on society. After a brief introduction on the physics behind the circulation models based on geo-p...
