ESiWACE

Preparing for Exascale

The main goal of ESiWACE is to substantially improve efficiency and productivity of numerical weather and climate simulation by supporting the end-to-end workflow of global Earth system modelling in current and future high performance computing environments - especially those which will require the next generation of pre-exascale and then exascale computers.

Our primary interest in ESIWACE is around issues of data handling: in the initial compute systems where we hit the limitations of bandwidth to the POSIX file system; in post-processing compute systems where volume provides issues; and in the distributed systems (including cloud) which are necessary for multiple modelling groups to share data efficiently at the European and Global scale.
