Weather forecasting and climate modeling move closer together

However, current research questions, such as those concerning the regional impacts of anthropogenic #ClimateChange, require that the gap between #weather #forecasting and #climate modeling be gradually closed. This is made possible by modern #supercomputers, which can calculate longer time periods with high spatial resolution.

A team of researchers from the #MPI-M, the #DWD, and other partners has taken on this task and is bringing together what belongs together: the #ICON developments for numerical weather prediction and climate applications.

"Our project has benefited greatly from the fact that the components use the same model structure," says Wolfgang Müller, group leader at MPI-M and lead author of the recently published paper presenting first successes of the project.

Roland Potthast, head of the Department of Meteorological Analysis and Modeling at the DWD, highlights the societal relevance of the work: "The developments help us to take an integrated approach to weather and climate and to provide well-coordinated services ranging from high-resolution weather #forecasts to seasonal and decadal climate forecasts."

'The Dutch technology company founded by Arkady Volozh, the billionaire co-founder of Russian internet giant Yandex, on Wednesday unveiled one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.

The new system, named ISEG2, debuted this week at No. 13 on the TOP500 list, the leading global ranking of supercomputer performance.'

At the start of #ISC25 in #hamburg our colleagues Burak Mete, Jorge Echavarria and Xialong Deng, feel honored. Together with colleagues from the TUM, they have just been awarded the Hans Meuer Prize for their work: they further developed #SysSage for #supercomputers in which quantum systems operate. Sys-Sage is an component of programming environments and will therefore become part of the Munich #Quantum #softwarestack
Their award-winning paper can be found here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1

"Frontier AI development relies on powerful AI supercomputers, yet analysis of these systems is limited. We create a dataset of 500 AI supercomputers from 2019 to 2025 and analyze key trends in performance, power needs, hardware cost, ownership, and global distribution. We find that the computational performance of AI supercomputers has doubled every nine months, while hardware acquisition cost and power needs both doubled every year. The leading system in March 2025, xAI’s Colossus, used 200,000 AI chips, had a hardware cost of $7B, and required 300 MW of power—as much as 250,000 households. As AI supercomputers evolved from tools for science to industrial machines, companies rapidly expanded their share of total AI supercomputer performance, while the share of governments and academia diminished. Globally, the United States accounts for about 75% of total performance in our dataset, with China in second place at 15% (...) Our analysis provides visibility into the AI supercomputer landscape, allowing policymakers to assess key AI trends like resource needs, ownership, and national competitiveness."

French state formally bids €410M for #Atos' #HPC assets
Stumbling Euro tech giant Atos looks set to finally sell its Advanced Computing assets to #France.
The #IT services megacorp, currently undergoing a complex restructuring process, said it has received a confirmatory offer from the French government to acquire the Advanced Computing business of its #Eviden subsidiary, putting a value on it of €410 million ($468 million).
