EGEE and climate modelling at the Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ)

Read how Grid technology projects could potentially help Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ) to conduct top of the line earth system and climate modelling.

The mission of DKRZ is to provide not only state-ofthe-art supercomputing and data service but also associated services enabling the scientific community to conduct top of the line earth system and climate modelling.

The DKRZ is currently involved in two different grid computing projects: the EU funded project “EGEE” (Enabling Grids for ESciencE,and the German “C3 Grid” project (Collaborative Climate Community Data and Processing Grid) within the German E-Science initiative (DGrid). The EGEE project aims at improving and broadening the use of the largest existing computer grid production infrastructure.

In contrast, the C3Grid is an application driven approach, which aims at developing an infrastructure for the access and use of the existing large datasets in the German climate community.

The DKRZ is part of the EGEE Earth Sciences Community, helping to identify suitable applications and support users to make use of this grid infrastructure to conduct top of the line earth system and climate modelling.

Find out how the DKRZ are using the EGEE infrastructure as potentially ideal framework for data sharing and collaborative analysis from the Terraflops Newsletter
