Parallel high-resolution climate data analysis using swift
Matthew Woitaszek, John M. Dennis, Taleena Rae Sines · 2011
Advances in software parallelism and high-performance systems have resulted in an order of magnitude increase in the volume of output data produced by the Community Earth System Model (CESM). As the volume of data produced by CESM increases, the single-threaded script-based software packages traditionally used to post-process model output data have become a bottleneck in the analysis process. This paper presents a parallel version of the CESM atmosphere model data analysis workflow implemented using the Swift scripting language.
