MPMM is a fine-grained dynamic decomposition of the Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale
Model version 5. Each set of
four horizontal grid points is represented as a parallel process running
under PCN (see Section #secPCN#205>), providing a transparent mechanism for
redistributing load
between physical processors. The work is being done in collaboration
with the developers of the original Cray model (who are at NCAR). This
program is used for real-time forecasting and climate prediction.
Work on this code is continuing; the SP1 provides a better development
environment than other parallel systems, in part because each node provides a
full Unix environment.
