As high-quality weather forecasts require a tremendous amount of computational power, TempoQuest (TQI) aimed at accelerating the Weather and Research Forecast (WRF) model from NCAR by utilizing GPU in its product AceCAST\u2122.<\/p>\n

Compared to standard computing methods, AceCAST\u2122 is currently the world\u2019s fastest and highest resolution weather forecasting model. It encompasses an ample set of refactored common WRF physics and dynamics modules with CUDA and OpenACC programming techniques, allowing users to adopt AceCAST\u2122 painlessly as a drop-in replacement for existing WRF configurations. Currently, it runs on NVIDIA A100 and V100 series accelerators.<\/p>\n

TQI announces the partnership with AMD to port AceCAST\u2122 on AMD Instinct\u2122 MI200 series accelerators. The port will take advantage of the ROCm\u2122 5 platform to exploit the powerful capabilities of MI200 series accelerators.<\/p>\n

The CUDA codebase in AceCAST\u2122 has been already translated to HIP and tested on MI210. Initial benchmarks reveal that standalone physics schemes developed in CUDA, like Thompson achieve on MI210 more than 50% higher performance than the current accelerators available on the market . TQI is committed to optimize AceCAST\u2122 on AMD Instinct\u2122 MI250 and to further improve the performance leveraging the ROCm 5 development platform.
\nConversion of the OpenACC codebase is in progress.<\/p>\n

AceCAST\u2122 supports multi-GPU systems, runs entirely on GPU and utilizes one core per GPU for job control and IO. It dramatically accelerates the compute time required to run the model by factor 10x or even higher depending on the number and type of GPUs used, the domain size, resolution, grid points and parameterization, IO frequency, etc.<\/p>\n

By accelerating WRF model on GPUs, AceCAST provides tangible quantifiable improvements when compared to traditional CPU derived solutions for running WRF:
\n\u00b7 Faster simulation time for the same simulation and compute cost
\n\u00b7 Lower computation cost for the same simulation speed
\n\u00b7 Higher spatial resolution\/domain size for the same simulation cost; or any preferred distribution of the above.<\/p>\n

AceCAST\u2122 will be available on AMD Instinct\u2122 MI200 series accelerators in Q2 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
