HPC in Weather Forecast
André Monteiro, Cláudio Teixeira, Joaquim Sousa Pinto · International Journal of Cloud Applications and Computing · 2015
Many traditional High-Performance Computing systems rely on hardware performance as well as compiler parallelization. The increased demand on computing resources rapidly escalates costs, which are the bigger limitation nowadays in both public and private sector. Cutting costs stimulates the research for new solutions, which are being opened by Cloud Computing. Virtualization becomes the key to migration and delivering intensive computing applications becomes more proficient than ever, thus providing the motivation for a change to the Cloud. This paper presents a case study of how to migrate an application and optimize performance without significant cost growth based on Cloud Computing applied to weather forecasting.
