Towards Ultra-high-resolution E3SM Land Modeling on Exascale Computers
Here we present an ultra-high-resolution E3SM land model (uELM) for high-fidelity land simulations targeting new Exascale computers. After considering modeling infrastructure compatibility and ELM software features, we designed a parallel model for the uELM development targeting hybrid architectures of new US Exascale computers. We also described a function unit test framework to expedite the piece-wise code porting (with compiler directives), verification, and global variable management. Furthermore, in this study, we report an early uELM model development using OpenACC within a function unit test framework on a pre-Exascale computer, demonstrate the performance of a uLEM submodel with a 3.0-time speedup, and summarize the code porting experience regarding global variable handling, deepcopy, memory reduction, and parallel loop reconstruction.
