Parallelisation and Model Coupling of Weather Simulations on Heterogeneous Platforms

Dr Wim Vanderbauwhede, University of Glasgow

This talk covers the work I did over the summer at Kyoto University in Japan. It involved porting a Large Eddy Simulator to OpenCL and creating the Glasgow Model Coupling Framework (GMCF), a novel model coupling framework, aimed at creating systems of communicating simulators. I will discuss the porting approach and performance of the OpenCL LES and explain the rationale and architecture of GMCF, and discuss our current work on it.
