Since the dawn of the Supercomputer Era in the 1960s, a succession of base processors (CPUs) has attempted to satisfy HPC users’ nearly insatiable demands for fast solution times on a wide spectrum of challenging problems, combined with affordability and energy efficiency. Chief among these entrants were vector processors, which ruled the HPC market through the 1990s, then RISC processors, and then x86-based processors, which began their steep ascendancy at that time and continue to dominate the market today, often in tandem with GPUs or other accelerators.

Challenges and Opportunities in Enhancing Weather, Water, and Climate HPC Systems
Jaclyn Ludema and Mark Nossokoff
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) recently hosted its 104th Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland with the theme of "Living in a Changing Environment". The event consisted of 47 meetings and symposia on various topics involving the science, policy, and technology of climate change, oceanography, and meteorology. Among these was the 10th Annual Symposium on High Performance Computing (HPC) for Weather, Water, and Climate. HPC is considered essential to the efforts of weather, water, and climate organizations worldwide to provide accurate forecasts and advance scientific understanding of Earth's systems. A panel discussion including David Michaud (NWS), Laurie Carriere (NASA), Thomas Hauser (NCAR), Frank Indiviglio (NOAA), and Tiago Quintino (ECMWF) shed light on the shared challenges and opportunities faced by these organizations in leveraging HPC for weather prediction and climate modeling.
