Workshop: Gridded climate and weather prediction codes on GPUs

This year the new supercomputer Arrhenius will become available to Swedish researchers and replace Tetralith, the current main HPC resource used by members of the Bolin Centre. In contrast to Tetralith, Arrhenius will have a substantially larger Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) partition than Central Processing Units (CPU) partition.

Climate and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) codes have traditionally been developed to run efficiently on CPU clusters. In this workshop we will explore current efforts of porting gridded climate and NWP codes to GPUs, and the challenges that are associated with this change in the hardware landscape.

Detailed schedule and registration information to come.
