Abstract
While Earth System models have been among the very largest consumers of high-performance computing (HPC) cycles, they very rarely figure on lists of computing tours de force, such as the Gordon Bell prize. Among the reasons are that ESMs, especially climate models, tend to be among the most I/O intensive applications in HPC.
