Description du projet
Le supercalcul exaflopique pour les simulations météorologiques et climatiques
Le centre d’excellence ESiWACE vise à améliorer les simulations météorologiques et climatiques sur des plateformes de calcul haute performance. Le projet ESiWACE3, financé par l’UE, représente la troisième phase de cette initiative, qui apporte un soutien communautaire au supercalcul exaflopique et au transfert de connaissances entre les centres de modélisation du système Terre en Europe. Le projet établira des technologies de simulation et des boîtes à outils efficaces et évolutives pour la modélisation du système terrestre à haute résolution. Il mettra également en place un pôle communautaire de formation, de communication et de diffusion, qui facilitera le transfert de connaissances et de technologies au sein de la communauté des modélisateurs. À terme, ESiWACE3 entend accroître la productivité et l’efficacité de la modélisation du système Terre et combler les lacunes de connaissances au sein de la communauté.
Objectif
This proposal shapes the next (third) phase of the ESiWACE Centre of Excellence. As the ability to run Earth system models at ~1km resolution efficiently on EuroHPC supercomputers has already been established in previous phases for specific model configurations, and as developments are now picked up by science-driven projects, this proposal will focus on the support of the community to reach a higher readiness level regarding exascale supercomputing and knowledge transfer between the different Earth system modelling centres and teams across Europe. The project will focus on three main aims that are essential to prepare existing, operational weather and climate prediction systems for the exascale era through (i) the transfer and establishment of knowledge and technology for efficient and scalable simulations of weather and climate across the Earth system modelling community, (ii) closing common technology knowledge gaps and by providing toolboxes for high-resolution Earth system modelling via joint developments and (iii) by serving as a sustainable community hub for training, communication and dissemination for high-performance computing for weather and climate modelling in Europe. ESiWACE3 will bring the various approaches to address these challenges from the different modelling groups together to transfer knowledge across the weather and climate domain, to generate synergies between the local efforts, to provide targeted support of modelling groups via customised high-performance computing services, and to provide training to educate the next generation of researchers.
