Development of Operational Technology for Meteorological High Performance Computing ()
ABSTRACT
As an important branch of information technology,
high-performance computing has expanded its application field and its influence
has been expanding. High-performance computing is always a key area of application in meteorology. We used field research and literature review
methods to study the application of high performance computing in China’s
meteorological department, and obtained the following results: 1) China
Meteorological Department gradually established the first high-performance
computer system since 1978. High-performance computing
services can support operational numerical weather prediction models. 2) The
Chinese meteorological department has always used the relatively advanced
high-performance computing technology, and the business system capability has
been continuously improved. The computing power has become an important symbol
of the level of meteorological modernization. 3) High-performance computing
technology and meteorological numerical forecasting applications are
increasingly integrated, and continue to innovate and develop. 4) In the
future, high-performance computing resource management will gradually transit
from the current local pre-allocation mode to the local remote unified
scheduling and shared use. In summary, we have come to the conclusion that the
performance calculation business of the meteorological department will usher in
a better tomorrow.
