Abstract
We describe and analyze the performance of a cluster of personal computers dedicated to coupledclimate simulations. This climate modeling system performs comparably to state-of-the-art supercomputersand yet is affordable by individual research groups, thus enabling more spontaneous applicationof high-end numerical models to climate science. The cluster's novelty centers around the Arctic SwitchFabric and the StarT-X network interface, a system-area interconnect substrate developed at MIT....Keywords
