March 5, 200917 yr I'm actually sort of surprised by this grawk. Is the model really that data intensive that disk access is a problem or do the researchers do something stupid like write every time step? I mean if you're writing to disk you're screwed as far at simulation throughput. One of the models is IO bound, and one is cpu bound. And all the post processing is IO bound.
March 5, 200917 yr One of the models is IO bound, and one is cpu bound. And all the post processing is IO bound. Oh ok. I wonder what's in the model to make it IO bound. Sounds like lots of look-up tables or something. I wasn't thinking about post processing , that's almost always io bound as you say.
March 5, 200917 yr lots of weather modelling is based on lookup tables. The fudge factor for the "uh, this is what we think it will do"
March 5, 200917 yr lots of weather modelling is based on lookup tables. The fudge factor for the "uh, this is what we think it will do" Yup that's part of what makes me worry
March 5, 200917 yr Why worry, they're accurate out to 4 hrs. Climate research is all a sham for funding anyway.
