• July 2023: EAGER project on speeding-up climate simulations is funded

I am excited that our EAGER proposal titled “Speeding-up large-scale simulations of atmospheric composition” with Kunal Agrawal, Randall Martin in EECE, and Seb Eastham from MIT has just been approved for funding.

The project targets improving how fast the GEOS-Chem 3D atmospheric simulation software runs by devising intelligent scheduling solutions adapted to the massively parallel compute infrastructure now available from the cloud. The challenges lies in the combination of variable workloads across individual tasks and an inherent trade-off between computation and communication efficiency when co-locating tasks on the same processor.
