15 Communication Intensive - E.g.: No (=don't care) , IB(=Infiniband needed) , ...
No IB No IB if more than 3 physical nodes used IB no
16 Web portal - E.g.: No(not needed), D(=yes for Data management), CI ( yes with Custmized Interface), CHK=(Checkpoint support)...
CI CI CI No No D
17 Main requirements and Expected outcomes (e.g.: optimized compilers/libraries, distributed File-systems, execution speedup, ..)
Application memory bound (up to 8TByte) - Typical resources are Supercomputers (Prace). Grid used for tests and small problems Long term execution and large file produced (>10GB). Needed fast checkpoint area on dedicated sites. Nemo needs standard HPC resources available on the Grid. The tool is statically compiled on the UI, so it doesn't need special SW env. Long execution time, but we split in several small task with checkpointing. No special Sw env neeed so match-making can be used Q/E needs to be installed (latest and optimized version) on the site. Low latency network and checkpoint needed Standard execution requires large dataset and checkpoint, but REgCM relies on custom network storage systems (openDAP). The approach based on "relocatable package" (see appl. descriptions) makes the application suitable for the Grid Environment
