Seminar: Leveraging exascale technology to advance NCAR science within CISL

Speaker: John Dennis, NCAR/CISL

Abstract

An institution-wide team was formed to determine the best course of action concerning using exascale technology to advance NCAR's science objectives. The end product of this evaluation was the creation of both a general and laboratory-specific set of recommendations regarding how exascale technology can advance our science objectives. In our presentation, we describe science objectives that are potentially of interest to the CISL community that can benefit from the use of exascale technology. We also provide both NCAR-wide and laboratory specific recommendations to advance the CISL community's use of exascale technologies.
