A Distributed Computational System for Large Scale Environmental Modeling

这个大挑战应用项目的一个前提是高性能计算环境和数值在揭示环境中发生的复杂物理和化学方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而且在塑造具有成本效益的公共政策设计方面也发挥着至关重要的作用。分布式异构计算系统提供了革新当前环境建模方法的潜力。进行研究是为了改进模型，将它们映射到先进的体系结构，并创建一个灵活的环境，使工具能够更广泛地使用。

A premise of this Grand Challenge Application project is that high performance computing environments and numerical play vital roles both in unraveling the complex physics and chemistry occurring in the environment, but also in shaping design of cost effective public policies. Distributed heterogeneous computing systems offer the potential to revolutionize the current approach to environmental modeling. Research is carried out to improve the models, their mapping onto advanced architectures, and to create a flexible environment that enbables more widespread use of the tools.
