ESM User Forum 2022

On the 16 and 17 of March 2022  the ESM User Forum online training course was hold at JSC. The event took place on two days, starting at 09:00 CET on the 16th and ending at 17:00 CET on the 17th, presentations, feedback sessions and a hands-on session were included (a full agenda can be found here).

With the ESM partition of the JUWELS cluster and booster modules, JSC provides HPC resources dedicated for Earth System Modelling (ESM). The aim of this partition is to enable frontier simulations in this field of crucial societal relevance as well as the initialization, tuning, and coupling of various models and submodels in preparation for upcoming exascale ESM applications. This course provides an overview of current developments at JSC related to the JUWELS system and gives users from the Helmholtz ESM project (https://www.esm-project.net/) and from the PilotLab ExaESM (the precursor of the JointLab ExaESM) the opportunity to discuss their specific issues and challenges. To prepare for the upcoming exascale system, this year’s focus will be on code stability and exascale workflows.
