Imaginations unbound NOVA Supercell and Tornado Evolution

PRAC: Understanding Tornadoes and Their Parent Supercells Through Ultra-High Resolution Simulation/Analysis Goal Simulate development, structure, & demise of large damaging tornadoes in supercells at resolution sufficient to capture low-level tornado inflow, thin precipitation shaft that forms “hook echo” adjacent to tornado, and other smaller scale structures Approach Simulate storms with model that solves (using finite differences) the equations of motion for air and water substances (droplets, rain, ice, …) Bob Wilhelmson (UIUC), et al

Tornadoes (cont’d) Approach continued: Explore new numerical algorithms that will more effectively use multicore architecture of Blue Waters Address load balancing issues that arise from the fact that the microphysics only operates in regions where clouds are forming or are present In-situ data analysis will be carried out whenever possible due to large data volumes Grids ranging from 5,000 x 5,000 x 1,000 to 10,000 x 10,000 x 2,000 grid points, the latter with 10 m uniform resolution within the storm Sustained petascale simulation will require > 3 days on full system Simulated tornado-like path with a 50 mb pressure drop extending from the ground to a height of 6 km using 100 m horizontal resolution

Tornadoes (cont’d) Application Code CM1 (Cloud Model, from George Bryan, NCAR) Fortran, MPI/OpenMP Bottlenecks to Scalability Load imbalance in the microphysics as some cells have cloud and others do not Sound wave propagation algorithm takes small steps, few FLOPS per memory fetch Percentage of Peak 6.25% on Power 6; 92% parallel efficiency from 32 to 512 cores Development Plan for Application Improvements Improve performance of dynamics code and scale advection scheme or change some of the algorithms for better scaling Add dynamic load balancing of microphysics Overlap computation with communication Perform on-the-fly data analysis/visualization including use of trajectories to deal with the 10’s of petabytes of data from a single simulation
