  3. NCEP Supercomputing Performance Growth

  4. Future Operational HPC • Request for Proposal posted to FedBizOpps.gov on January 12, 2011 • RFP is to acquire advanced high performance computing systems (HPCS) to meet NOAA’s operational computing requirements. The new primary and backup Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) will replace the current operational HPCS platforms at NCEP headquartered in Camp Springs, Maryland.  • Completed proposal packages are due March 31, 2011 • Delivery, subject to the availability of funds, is anticipated for award in October 2011. • Contract will consist of a five (5) year base period with a three (3) year option period and a two (2) year transition option. The total duration of the contract, inclusive of all options, shall not exceed ten (10) years. • The amount of all orders placed under the contract shall not exceed $502M.

  5. Future R&D HPC • Site A – CMRS “Gaia” Oak Ridge National Lab • Now: Cray XE6 LC – 259 TF, 1288 24-core nodes • Feb 2012: Cray XE6 LC - 1106 TF, 3760 32-core nodes (aggregate) • Site B – Fairmont, WV • Expected availability late 2012 • System architecture and size TBD • Gaithersburg R&D system “Vapor” will be replaced by NOAA Site B

  6. Supercomputer Production UtilizationFebruary 2010

  7. Production System Utilization

  8. Standby System Utilization

  9. Product On-Time Percentage Yearly Average 2006: 99.42% 2007: 99.70% 2008: 99.82% 2009: 99.85% 2010: 99.83%

  10. Model Delivery to AWIPS/NOAAPort

  11. 2011 System/Operations Initiatives Model Implementation Model implementation process re-engineering launched this year Production Supercomputers Additional 300TB disk storage (multicluster-GPFS) completed New Operational Supercomputer acquisition and transition – 2012-2013

  12. Dissemination System Redundancy • NCEP Internet dissemination systems hosted at two locations since October 2010 • Silver Spring, MD • Boulder, CO • Redundant Systems • FTPPRD – http://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov • NOMADS – http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov • Identical live data feeds to sites at both locations • Customers access only one site to eliminate latency differences • Access switched by NOAA without customer intervention

  13. Model Analysis and GuidanceWeb Site Operational Now Replaces the Model Analysis & Forecast site in August Nine Models Twelve Geographic Areas http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov Questions? Online FAQ and Bradley.Mabe@noaa.gov

  14. NOMADS Access to Numerical Forecast Guidance data, tailored to user needs - http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov Data downloaded via Grib Filter and OpenDAP Methods

  15. Dissemination Services Utilization Feb – Dec 2010 FTP use up 40% NOMADS use up 52% Overall use up 44%

  16. CY10-11 Completed Implementations • GEFS: 2/23/2010 – resolution increase to ~70 km out to 16 days, conversion to ESMF, additional parameters • GFS: 7/28/2010 – resolution increase to T574 (27 km) • GLOFS: 12/7/2010 – became operational on NCEP computers; run extended to 60 hours • RTMA: 9/28/2010 – implemented RTMA for Guam, enhancements to HI, CONUS, resolution increase to 2.5 km • NUOPC IOC: access to GEFS, Canadian global and FNMOC NOGAPS output on NOMADS • CFS: 3/20/2011 - 16 runs every day out to 45 days, four of which will go out to 9 months (monthly and seasonal) • NOS Operational Forecast systems for Chesapeake, Delaware and Tampa Bay: 3/29/2011 – new implementation

  17. GFS Implementation • Implemented July 28, 2010 • Horizontal resolution increased from 35 km to 27 km (through 192 hours in support of the GFS MOS development) • Upgraded: radiation and cloud package, specification of gravity wave drag, boundary layer scheme, deep convection scheme • Higher resolution grid for hurricane relocation, snow analysis • New mass flux shallow convection scheme 24 hr rainfall ending 12Z, Sept 29, 2008 36-60 hr forecast

  18. FY11 Planned Implementations • Q3 Planned Implementations • HWRF V5.0.0 (AOP) • GFDL V9.0.0 • Real Time Global SST (AOP) • NOS Northern Gulf of Mexico Operational Forecast System V1.0.0 • GFS-based Hi-Res MOS V1.0.0 Experimental QPF • NAM NEMS Upgrade V3.0.0 (Compute Resources for Parallel)

  19. FY11 Planned Implementations • Q4 Planned Implementations • Global HYCOM (1/12 degree) V1.0.0 NCO Parallel to Production (AOP) • Rapid Refresh V6.0.0 (AOP) • Adding FNMOC data to Wave Ensemble V2.1.0 (AOP) • Interim Dust predictions: HYSPLIT Upgrades V1.0.0 (NCO Parallel to Production) • SWPC Enlil V1.0.0 (NCO Parallel) (AOP) • MADIS FOC V2.0.0 • CCS Development/Production Environment Equivalence Project • SREF NEMS Upgrade V6.0.0(Compute Resources for Parallel) • NAEFS: GEFS Upgrade V10.0.0 (Compute resources for both parallel and Production)
