DKRZ Project Management Service

Between the 8th and 10th of October, we will have a DICAD project meeting and a Post-processing workshop.
Details will be announced soon.

A google document is provided (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a_SJiR_fDJJLHlaG1FhDKa8ZSNTQoLV40fESDpFoAUM) where each interested project member may include author, title, and duration of a presentation regarding project activities and products.
The goal is at least 1 presentation per work package.
In addition other issues may be put up for discussion.

DKRZ Userworkshop and training will take place on October 9th 2017 at hotel 'Baseler Hof' and at the DRKZ in Hamburg: https://www.dkrz.de/Nutzerportal/workshops/nutzerworkshop-und-schulung-2017-1

The next generation GCM ICON of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology is now available. Additionally, we are providing a benchmark for one of our key file formats decoding/encoding libraries. If you would like to get access to this benchmarks contact Luis Kornblueh.

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology has been providing its Earth System Model for RAPS benchmarking in rather informal way. Because of fundamental changes in the models retrieve and build system, we would like to announce this time its availability and recommend to have a look into this new version.

Another change done is related to the availability of oasis3/mct. The new model version is updated to this coupler version. Setup and scaling is supposed to be improved by this change.

In case you are interested in accessing the model, please send an email to Luis Kornblueh.

The emphasis of this workshop will be on running meteorological applications at sustained teraflops performance in a production environment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the future scalability of NWP codes and the tools and development environments to facilitate this as we move towards petaflop computing.
