Summary
The key objectives of the CRC rely heavily on numerical modelling, data processing and analysis. Project Z04 will be responsible for: (i) Providing basic support for a multitude of HPC-related issues, such as the porting and tuning of scientific software applications (simulation, processing, analysis, and visualization codes) on the latest supercomputers (at Jülich Supercomputing Centre, JSC, and University of Bonn HPC/A-Lab) throughout the entire CRC; (ii) helping with model development through contributions to the developments in the CRC projects and support the performance optimization of workflows towards big data readiness, linked with Z03 tasks; (iii) model simulation support as a service to the CRC, including provenance tracking and configuration management for reproducibility; and (iv) training of early-career scientists at the interface of geoscience, HPC, and data science in collaboration with Z02 and Z03. Hence, Z04 will help the CRC efficiently conduct its demanding numerical model and simulation experiments, as well as processing and analysis tasks, in a big data context.
Main results in 2022
- HPC training day for early career DETECT staff
- HPSC Fall School, week long training on HPC and terrestrial system modelling
- Deployment of central GitLab DETECT infrastructure
- Deployment of wiki pages, grid definitions and standards for the entire CRC
- Contribution to DETECT reference model implementations (grids, configurations, etc.)
- Support for JSC compute time applications
- Fortnightly meetings, supporting all HPC matters (compilation, scaling, software environments, etc.)
