Overview

• One of the world’s premier numerical weather prediction centers
• Approximately seven million observations collected to predict global weather and ocean conditions

Challenges

• Maintain information superiority with faster, more accurate weather predictions
• Easily scale to handle larger volumes of data and more sophisticated models
• Compliance with stringent military security requirements

Solution

• Platform LSF HPC
• Platform LSF MultiCluster

Results

• Rejected open-source solution for partner who could solve problems quickly and provide fast, reliable support
• Supports both classified and unclassified jobs
• Pool computing assets into a single, logical super-cluster

“Platform LSF software is an underpinning technology that plays a fundamental part in how we make our complex operation work day after day. We have very tight time constraints on our modeling tasks, and LSF helps us ensure it works consistently and reliably.”
- Mike Clancy, Chief Scientist and Deputy Technical Director
