[[BR]] ''' Status: ''' continuation of 2015 dev CMCC-1 [[BR]] ''' Main Tasks: ''' 1. the activity started at the end of 2013 with the analysis of three OpenMP approaches (implemented using “mini-apps”) on several multicore architectures; the second step was the implementation of the hybrid version of the GYRE configuration using the best OpenMP approach. Results in terms of scalability were not so good. Thus, the porting and the analysis of the hybrid version (using “mini-apps”) on many core architectures (e.g. Xeon Phi) is needed, before extending the hybrid OpenMP/MPI approach to the entire code, in order to justify the effort of the development. This analysis is carrying out in 2015. The extension of the hybrid implementation on the entire code will depend on the results of this analysis. 2. analysis of scalability improvement using MPI3 new communications (e.g. collective neighbours communications), instead of point to point communications [[BR]] ''' Science Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' System Reviewer:''' [[BR]] ''' Deadline:''' [[BR]] ''' Priority:''' HIGH [[BR]] ''' Depends on:''' results of the same action in 2015 [[BR]] ''' Principal Investigator : ''' Silvia Mocavero ==== ''' '''HPC-5 / NERC - Implement larger haloes ==== ''' Motivation:''' Improving NEMO scalability. [[BR]] ''' Status: ''' New implementation - old idea [[BR]] ''' Main Tasks: ''' Investigate the benefits of using larger halo to reduce the communication frequency and hence improve performance and scalability. This is likely to be most influential in the barotropic time-splitting where it should be possible to emulate earlier solutions for the iterative solvers. Extension to the rest of the code will be considered subject to an impact assessment.

Various data assimilation experiments have been done with this configuration, with various data assimilation systems (e.g. Cosme et al, 2011, Bouttier et al. 2014, Yin et al., 2014). In this context, this configuration appears to be useful for data assimilation users, to couple their own DA system on NEMO and compare their results with thgose obtained on this configuration. SEABASS is also easy to take in hand. Also, it allows to update the configuration status to the future version of NEMO. For these reasons, this configuration is a relevant test case for Data Assimilation.

This would reduce mode splitting error, hence improve stability. - Work on the stability of barotropic time stepping (based on INRIA's work) to possibly remove time filtering of barotropic variables. This would limit the temporal dissipation and greatly ease online coupling of nested domains at barotropic level (with AGRIF).
