Zusammenfassung |
To exploit the possibilities of parallel computers, we designed a large-scale
bidimensional atmospheric advection model named Pangolin. As the basis for
a future chemistry-transport model, a finite-volume approach for advection
was chosen to ensure mass preservation and to ease parallelization. To
overcome the pole restriction on time steps for a regular latitude–longitude
grid, Pangolin uses a quasi-area-preserving reduced latitude–longitude grid.
The features of the regular grid are exploited to reduce the memory footprint
and enable effective parallel
performances. In addition, a custom domain decomposition algorithm is presented. To
assess the validity of the advection scheme, its results are compared with
state-of-the-art models on algebraic test cases. Finally, parallel
performances are shown in terms of strong scaling and confirm the efficient
scalability up to a few hundred cores. |
