TempoQuest’s (TQI’s) software product, AceCAST, accelerates the world’s most widely used regional weather forecasting model, known as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, which is supported by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). WRF is widely utilized by more than 36,000 registered users located in 162 countries, and is a next-generation mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system designed to serve both operational forecasting and atmospheric research needs. WRF features multiple dynamical cores and a software architecture allowing for computational parallelism and system extensibility. WRF is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications across scales ranging from meters to thousands of kilometers.凭借 AceCAST 这一 GPU 加速 WRF，TempoQuest 正在以更低的成本加速风能和太阳能可再生资源的发电功率预测。这有助于优化负载和发电的平衡、减少公用事业单位的运营成本、管理可再生能源输出的波动并产生更加可靠的预测，进而减少对碳基电力储备的依赖。
AceCAST is a powerful cutting-edge software powered by Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) that enable acceleration of the WRF model. AceCAST is the product of half-a-decade of punctilious research and development that empowers WRF users to secure striking performance optimizations using the superior massive parallelism of GPU hardware versus traditional CPU computation. AceCAST encompasses an ample set of refactored common WRF physics and dynamics modules, and namelist options with NVIDIA CUDA or OpenACC GPU programming techniques, allowing a wide swath of users to adopt AceCAST painlessly as a drop-in replacement for existing WRF configurations.GPUs enable exceptional acceleration by using multi-threaded, many-core processors with tremendous computational speed and very high memory bandwidth. The combined features of general-purpose supercomputing, high parallelism, high memory bandwidth, low cost, and compact size are what make a GPU-based system an appealing alternative to a massively parallel system made up of commodity CPU clusters. TempoQuest’s software is a result of specialized programming and optimization techniques coupled with a deep understanding of high-performance computing, NWP, atmospheric science, WRF configurations, GPUs, and CUDA code. The TQI developed CUDA-based GPU WRF is currently the world’s fastest and highest resolution weather forecasting model. 联系3766906032@qq.com
