The project aims to optimize the runtime performance of a largangian cloud parcel model. It is planned for this code to be embedded in the ECHAM6.1-HAM2.2 in a novel approach of modeling cloud microphysics within a global climate model.

Project objectives:

  • Complete detailed profiling of the cloud parcel model code
  • Analyze the cloud parcel model code to identify code sections and routines to be further evaluated for performance optimization.
  • Propose a set of recommendations for code changes based on the performance analysis.
  • Make code changes identified to be very fast to implement based on the profiling results.
  • Evaluate whether openmp parallelisation should be feasible and how much work that would entail.
