An Interactive Website to Support the Co-Design Process
At NCAR, we perform world-class research in support of our goal of advancing our understanding of our Earth system. A powerful tool that supports our scientific objectives is high-performance computing. We have observed that the uptake of innovative computing technologies has traditionally been slow. We believe that a fundamental reason behind the slow uptake is that it typically takes expert knowledge to determine if a scientific objective is amenable to new technology. We have created a set of questions that supports this evaluation, but these questions are not particularly accessible. We therefore intend to develop an interactive website that can be used to make this kind of evaluation accessible to a broader audience. The goal of this project is to develop an interactive learning website that will simplify the evaluation of the suitability of new technology, in this case, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) computing for a particular science objective. The student’s primary focus will be developing the website and testing it on suitable volunteers.
