The OASIS 3 - MCT parallel coupler
نویسندگان
چکیده
OASIS3-MCT_2.0, the new version of the OASIS coupler interfaced with MCT (Model Coupling Toolkit) released in May 2013, offers today a fully parallel implementation of coupling field regridding and exchange. In spite of the significant changes in underlying implementation, usage of OASIS3-MCT in the component code has largely remained unchanged with respect to the previous version of the coupler. This means that the migration to the new OASIS3-MCT coupler should be almost transparent for the ~35 climate modelling groups using OASIS around the world. The scalability tests done with OASIS3-MCT_2.0 at high number of cores and the fact that it supports unstructured grids allow us to conclude that this coupler offers today a fully parallel and efficient coupling solution answering the short and mid term (~5 years, next IPCC report) needs of the European climate modelling community.

OASIS and PALM, the CERFACS couplers
Coupling numerical models, i.e. implementing synchronized exchanges of information between models, is a central issue in many research fields such as climate modelling, data assimilation, or computational fluid dynamics. Since about 15 years, CERFACS specializes in developing coupling software tools, also called “couplers”. In 1991, CERFACS was commissioned to develop a software interface to co...
