Major Collaboration with outside
parties
Collaboration with
computer science
COMPAS
system management and architecture has been guided by considerable
advice and expertise from the San Diego Supercomputer (SDSC) for the
ROCKS cluster operating system and CalIT2 for connections to the
“optiputer” as well as a graduate student research project in computer
science;
besides being of great benefit to COMPAS, these collaborations have
also provided important case-specific information to SDSC and CalIT2.
In collaboration with the SDSC ROCKS group, the original COMPAS
clusters and later a second cluster in the COMPAS facility performed a
linpack benchmark test
(criteria parallel linpack benchmark); which resulted in the COMPAS
facility being designated as on of the “top 500” world computer
facilities.
Collaboration with
Ocean and Atmospheric Science
Detlef Stammer has built in collaborations to
the
consortium for estimating the circulation and climate of the ocean
(ECCO), including partners at MIT, JPL and, especially since Stammer
has relocated there, the University of Hamburg. David Pierce and
Tim Barnett have used COMPAS in working on collaborative climate
modeling with NCAR scientists George Carr and Peter Thornton.
