Pre-Requisites for Petascale Computing • “Computation” is the easy part • How do we handle: • I/O Performance • parallel netCDF, MPI-IO, PHDF, … • Long-term storage • Analysis • Visualization • Feature extraction
Pre-Requisites for Petascale Computing • Operations • Run the same thing over and over with different data • Research • NOT a waterfall • Iterative process • Analysis leads to new requirements • Storage vs. re-run
Other Issues • Dynamic Load Balancing • Adaptive Timestep • How do I get my code into WRF? • Integration support • Web page • Process • Developers meeting • Testing • Action for MMM: publish process more visibly
Other Issues • Dynamic Load Balancing • Adaptive Timestep • How do I get my code into WRF? • Integration support • Web page • Process • Developers meeting • Testing • Action for MMM: publish process more visibly
Other Issues • Ease of use • Ease of development • Build rework • SI replacement • Registry generation • GIS, CF • Coupling • Grand Challenges vs. everything else?
