Once about Knowledge and knowledge systems, especially knowledge applied to economic development, but since I retired branching into politics, music and whatever catches my attention.
The Climate Change Prediction Program (formerly CHAMMP) program is a U.S. Department of Energy program designed to rapidly advance the science of decade and longer scale climate prediction. A major component of the program links the emerging technologies in High Performance Computing to the development of computationally efficient and numerically accurate climate prediction models. The program involves a joint Federally-funded laboratory and university effort to develop computational methods and simulation capabilities for future atmosphere and ocean general circulation models. These computer programs are form the core of advanced prediction models that can be used to study climate change.
A collaborative project between Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory and the National Center for Atmospheric Research is addressing the use of massively parallel computers for climate modeling. Besides a range of research projects involving numerical methods and parallel algorithms for climate modeling, the NCAR Community Climate Model, CCM2, has been implemented on the Intel Paragon, the Thinking Machines CM-5 and the IBM SP-2. This collaboration is supported by the CHAMMP program of the Department of Energy, Environmental Sciences Division of the Office of Biological and Environmental Research and by the National Science Foundation through a cost sharing agreement with NCAR.
