6.1 - Grid Applications

A hurricane simulation model accurately replicated Hurricane Georges using 256+ processors to run at a higher resolution of 5 km instead of the usual 10 km. While computationally intensive programs like hurricane modeling typically require supercomputers, cloud computing concepts from an online course allow such programs to be run without access to a supercomputer by distributing the workload across multiple processors.

Parallel & Distributed Computing - Muhammad Shahzad


▪ Hurricane Georges, 17 days in Sept 1998
▪ RAMS modeled the mesoscale convective complex that dropped so much rain in good
agreement with recorded data
▪ Used 5 km spacing instead of the usual 10 km
▪ Ran on 256+ processors

▪ Computation-intensive computing (or HPC = High Performance Computing)


▪ Can one run such a program without access to a supercomputer ?
