Nov 17, 2023 · A pair of Chinese supercomputers is widely credited as the first to cross the exascale threshold in 2022, and research results from those machines, such as the first global climate model to incorporate the cooling effects of specific volcanic eruptions, were presented at the meeting.
Feb 29, 2024 · Supercomputers around the world are already being used for climate modeling, offering real-life examples of their critical role in understanding and predicting climate change. One notable example is the Earth Simulator in Japan, which was the world's fastest supercomputer when first launched.
May 1, 2024 · A climate model exploits this by subdividing the surface of the planet into smaller regions – subdomains – with calculations for each region being performed simultaneously on a different CPU.
Jan 12, 2021 · For decades, supercomputers have played a critical role in studying our climate and predicting how global changes will impact the world, as well as potential ways to mitigate those effects. With each new generation of more powerful computers, scientists have been able to create simulations in higher resolution, which reveal both new challenges ...
Jul 11, 2023 · Some climate scientists now have access to supercomputers that can perform trillions or even quadrillions of operations per second. But running high-resolution models on current machines...
