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计算在解开环境中发生的复杂物理和化学问题方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而且在制定具有成本效益的公共政策方面也发挥着至关重要的作用。分布式异质计算系统提供了彻底改变当前环境建模方法的潜力。开展研究以改进模型，将其映射到高级体系结构，并创建能够更广泛地使用工具的灵活环境。

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.
