Follow on Google News | Bull trusts Allinea DDT and Allinea MAP for major upgrade at Météo FranceAllinea DDT and Allinea MAP to help meteorologists and climate researchers optimize their applications for a whole new magnitude of supercomputing power
By: Allinea Software Météo-France (http://france.meteofrance.com/) The agency has been doing this crucial work on a vector supercomputer with a limited capability of 40 teraflops. In 2013, Bull (http://www.bull.com/ “For the first phase, we will significantly increase the computing power,” said Damien Déclat, the project’s director for Bull. “Computing power is a key element for meteorology and climate science. This upgrade will enable further progress in weather forecasting and climate research for Météo-France. As an example, the Meteo-France's local area model (called AROME (http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/ One major challenge of this upgrade is porting applications to work smoothly on the new computers. To ease this problem, Bull selected Allinea DDT, the most advanced debugging tool available and Allinea MAP, a Message Passing Interface (http://en.wikipedia.org/ “Météo-France users will benefit from using these two products to debug, profile, and optimize applications, which is a big improvement that will lead to more efficient codes running on the supercomputers,” The project is the result of a long, collaborative RFP process. Today, developers at Météo-France are working on a small supercomputer with the Allinea tools (http://www.allinea.com/ “Our easy-to-use GUI will be critical in easing this shift,” said David Lecomber, COO of Allinea Software. “Allinea Software is having a large impact on climate research centres and the meteorological world. Our adoption by Météo-France is another endorsement of our tools’ ability to handle the development challenges of large-scale data intensive software.” End
