WRF at Sabalcore HPC Cloud

The importance of weather and climate prediction for saving lives and protecting property has never been greater. Sabalcore’s “bare-metal” approach to HPC in the cloud fills the gap that virtual clouds can’t.

Unlike generic virtual environments offered by cloud providers such as Amazon and Google, Sabalcore’s “bare-metal” and tightly-coupled HPC systems are purpose built for parallel applications.

Sabalcore supports scientific modeling and simulation applications as part of our High Performance Computing services. Sabalcore already hosts many popular environment related time dependent,  transport and dispersion modeling application. Support expertise has decades of experience with WRF and ADCIRC  which insures the software stack is installed, up-to-date, and ready to run in our turn-key environment.

  • WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model is a numerical weather prediction system.
  • ADCIRC (ADvanced CIRCulation model), is a computer program that simulates water circulation and transport in coastal and ocean environments.

Performance is Important

Parallel applications rely heavily on distributing the domain process across many compute nodes in order to reduce the wall-time necessary to complete the simulation. Therefore, the network connection between the nodes is critical to the performance, scalability, and reliability of the process. Sabalcore’s  NVIDA/Mellanox Quantum InfiniBand network provides the ultra-low latency full-bandwidth connectivity between compute nodes and is directly attached to the storage domain for optimal data performance. Easily scale to hundreds of processor cores.

  • High performance Quantum InfiniBand interconnects (many times faster than 10GigEthernet)
  • High performance parallel filesystems for demanding data
  • Direct-attached storage for high-throughput direct-to-disk access
  • Bare-metal compute nodes for highest available performance per CPU cycle
  • Pre-installed software stack

Tools that Simplify

Sabalcore’s ssClient with both CLI and Remote Desktop capability allows for easy migration to the cloud. Access the service with any standard Linux/UNIX terminal. Run visualization applications while tapping into hundreds of processors.

  • Linux/UNIX terminal (SSH access)
  • Batch process very large data sets requiring hundreds of processors
  • Job scheduling, scripting, and automation
  • Remote Visualization
  • GNU and Intel compilers and libraries available
  • Store TBs of data short-term or long-term
  • Fast data transfer with Sabalcore’s proprietary transfer client
