2: Computational environment
Practical Issues:
a) Associated computing – will need to perform large amounts of post-processing
(e.g. stitching together output from adjacent processors,
plus computation of diagnostic quantities)
Code less parallel and demanding, so not favoured by
scheduling at major centres. But either need to do it there
(for good access to data) or move vast volumes around
JANET and have own significant HPC provision.
b) Need own excellent infrastructure (much more widespread HPC)
for analysis and visualisation
c) Data serving – need to make post-processed data available to user community
data portals served by major centres, or by home institute?
d) However organised, will involve massive transfer, and require excellent
networking to all relevant sites
