Summary:Abstract: "The simulation of ocean circulation is a problem of great importance in the environmental sciences of today. Realistic simulations impose great demands on the existing computer systems, requiring the use of considerable computational power and storage capabilities. An implementation of an ocean general circulation model on the Cedar multicluster architecture is presented. This is based on the GFDL three-dimensional model, that was adapted for simulation of the Mediterranean. The model simulates the basic aspects of large-scale, baroclinic ocean circulation, including treatment of irregular bottom topography. The data and computational mapping strategies and the effect on the performance are discussed
The Cedar version of the code, using four clusters and 32 processors, has demonstrated significant speedup compared to a single cluster and compared to a single processor.
