  1. Central Operations Richard Hackenberg NCEP Central Operations PMO

  2. NCO Mission • Execute the NCEP operational model suite • Create climate, weather, ocean and environmental hazard products • Manage improvements to the NCEP model suite • Support the research, development, and transition of new or enhanced models to operations • Develop meteorological software • Used by the NCEP Centers to create forecaster generated products • Manage the flow of data and products • To and from the NCEP centers, partners, and customers

  3. World-ClassSupercomputing • IBM Power 5 • 15.5 teraflops Linpack sustained • 148 Power 5+ Nodes • 2,368 processors • 4,736 gigabytes of memory • 150 terabytes of disk space • 75 terabyte tape archive • FY’09 Upgrade • ~Three times the computational performance of the current system Fairmont, West Virginia Gaithersburg, Maryland

Gaithersburg, MD (NCEP) IBM p575 Supercomputer System 8.7 teraflops Linpack sustained 83 Power 5+ Nodes 1,328 processors (16 per node), 1.9 gigahertz speed 2,656 gigabytes of shared memory 160 terabytes of disk space 5.5 Petabyte tape archive Princeton, NJ (GFDL) SGI Supercomputer 5248 Itanium processors 10.3 TB of memory 516 TB of disk space 6.8 PB of tape storage Boulder, CO (GSD) APPRO Supercomputer 1440 Woodcrest Xeon processors 1.5 TB of memory 168 TB of disk space 0.5 PB of tape storage NOAA Research & DevelopmentSupercomputing

  7. Acquisition Objectives • Procure the next generation of NCEP’s operational supercomputers • In support of the EMP ten year view • Provide facilities that will support power, cooling and space requirements • Gain stability from a long term, flexible contract (total 10 years) • Three year base (FY10 – FY12) • Two 3 year options (FY15 and FY18) • Enable flexible technology upgrades • Encourage competitive environment

  8. Acquisition Milestones/Status

  9. Meeting Requirements with Increased Computational Capability BASIS FOR THE INVESTMENT • Computing increases from now until 2011 • 3X from next upgrade • 3X from constant $$ on new contract • Total increase estimated at 9X • Overall requirement is 30X • Funding estimate for additional 3X • From ~$20 M (FY08)  $60 M (starting in FY13)
