Institute: University of East Anglia “My research is about understanding climate and climate change, mostly on Earth, but also on other planets. To further this aim, I use a combination of theory and models, ranging from simple numerical codes to very complex global circulation models.” – Dr Manoj Joshi, UEA Lecturer – School of Environmental …
Institute: University College London “Although we also have a PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) allocation of 24 million CPU hours, we can use this up very easily. Each simulation uses multiple replicas (at different temperatures) and so it has billions of sampling steps. The CPU time this takes is greatly reduced using …
