This NSF award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville funds U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by the G8 Research Councils Initiative on Multilateral Research through the Interdisciplinary Program on Application Software towards Exascale Computing for Global Scale Issues. This is a pilot collaboration among the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Canadian National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), the German Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR),and the United Kingdom Research Councils (RC-UK), supporting collaborative research projects selected on a competitive basis that are comprised of researchers from at least three of the partner countries.This interdisciplinary project across six countries focuses on three research topics that address limitations in numerical modeling of physics, chemistry and biology with the NCAR Community Earth System Model Version 1 (CESM1) and similar codes used by other countries. These research topics include new approaches to handle resilience, node level optimization and system level scalability. This research will enable the development of more scalable model ensembles. These will allow better evaluation of climate sensitivity and climate feedback processes, a better quantification of model uncertainty and a better understanding of the effects of natural variability.The project will provide essential knowledge toward scaling climate codes for exascale and thus reducing current uncertainties on climate evolution; it will foster interactions between computer scientists and climate scientists; will foster international collaborations in the area of climate simulations and exascale computing; and will educate a new generation of researchers that understand both the application domain of climate simulation and high-performance computing

美国国家科学基金会授予伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的这一奖项，资助美国研究人员参与一个项目，该项目是由八国集团研究理事会通过跨学科应用软件计划多边研究倡议选择的，该计划旨在为全球规模问题提供Exascale计算。这是美国国家科学基金会、加拿大国家科学和工程研究理事会（NSERC）、法国国家研究机构（ANR）、德国研究共同体（DFG）、日本科学促进会（JSPS）、俄罗斯基础研究基金会（RFBR）和英国研究理事会（RC-UK）之间的试点合作，支持在竞争基础上选择的合作研究项目，这些项目由来自至少三个伙伴国家的研究人员组成。这个跨学科的项目跨越六个国家，重点关注三个研究课题，解决物理数值模拟的局限性，化学和生物学与NCAR社区地球系统模型版本1（CESM 1）和其他国家使用的类似代码。这些研究主题包括处理弹性，节点级优化和系统级可扩展性的新方法。这项研究将使更多的可扩展模型集成的发展。这将有助于更好地评估气候敏感性和气候反馈过程，更好地量化模型的不确定性，更好地了解自然变异的影响，该项目将提供必要的知识，以便将气候代码按百万兆尺度缩放，从而减少目前气候演变的不确定性;它将促进计算机科学家和气候科学家之间的互动;将促进气候模拟和艾级计算领域的国际合作;并将教育新一代既了解气候模拟应用领域又了解高性能计算的研究人员
