2011 CSL Solicitation • For use of CSL computing facilities from April 2011 – June 2012 • Deadline for submitting proposals is December 1, 2010 • Only for work on Bluefire: o Same number of GAUs as before: total of 1.325M GAU/month o Additional resources for use of MSS are allocated independently • Next allocation will be for NWSC Proposal Review • CSL allocation requests are reviewed by a panel of experts based on: o Eligibility criteria o Relevance to US GCRP priorities o Available CSL resources (same as before) o Recommendations are forwarded to NSF for final allocation decisions • Previous reviews raised some valid points: e.g., o WG requests vary considerably in terms of justification and detail o Little apparent coordination between WG requests o No overall sense of priorities o Little delineation between development and production simulations ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
2011 CSL Proposal : GENERAL THOUGHTS • Need to identify and describe overarching priorities, prioritization and synergies between working groups • Need explicit section on computational efficiency, scalability, and how development is geared toward NWSC • Need to clearly define: o DEVELOPMENT: Simulations to understand CESM1.0 (or component) behavior, document biases, and determine the responsible processes Improving the representation of processes Adding new capabilities important for improving simulation fidelity, for new science and for future releases o PRODUCTION: Defining characteristic is being made available for community analysis “Assessment” simulations, control and 20 th century simulations with each of new CESM components, science runs involving new capabilities, … • Working group contributions should be uniform in format, length, style and should be cross-referencing (reflect coordination) • Overall proposal needs to be written by SSC ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
2011 CSL Proposal WORKING GROUP PLANS • Now available on-line (http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/management/CSL/) • Please read and send comments to WG co-chairs FORMAT Research Plan and Broad Overview of Objectives (~2 pages) • Description of overarching DEVELOPMENT objectives • Description of overarching PRODUCTION objectives Proposed Experiments and Computation Requirements (~3 pages) • Must be WELL JUSTIFIED and follow logically from previous section • Short description of individual DEVELOPMENT experiments, including: o model configuration o number of runs and years o GAUs/year and total number of GAUs (target provided) o Summary table • Short description of individual PRODUCTION experiments ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
2011 CSL Proposal Outline Cover page (nice figure needed) Table of Contents (1 page) Introduction ( HURRELL ) (1 page) • Process by which proposal came together – coordination among working groups, involvement of SSC written by entire project • Constructed to respond to previous review suggestions/criticisms Background ( HURRELL , BADER, VERTENSTEIN) (3 pages) • Major Deliverables of previous CSL allocation; e.g., o CCSM4.0 and CESM1.0 development, release, and production simulations (e.g., CMIP5 simulations), improvements in scalability, … • Define “development” and “production” • CSL enhances university participation through WG requests, but note we also have other development activities (e.g., EaSM, CPTs, CSSEF) Brief description of overarching priorities (5 pages) • Little/no mention of specific WG requests • DEVELOPMENT: ( LAMARQUE , GHAN, COLLINS, LARGE, LAWRENCE, DONEY) • PRODUCTION: ( KUSHNER , RASCH, KIEHL, VAVRUS, MAHOWALD) Resource request (6 pages) • Can be pulled from WG requests • Description of main DEVELOPMENT activities and associated GAU request • Description of main PRODUCTION activities and associated GAU request • Tables showing total requests by working group Data Management ( VERTENSTEIN , LARGE) (2 pages) ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
CSL Data Management Plan (Vertenstein and Large) Archiving • Assume that data on HPSS will NOT stay around indefinitely – No longer assume that new data will produce much larger volume than old data • Production and Development will have different policies – Production – keep 100% for P1 years and then gradually cut back to K% over a period of P2 years and then keep for P3 years? – Development – keep 100% for D1 years and then cut to 0% Above depends on estimate of both production and development data volume – needed by Thursday! Data volume metrics NOW AVAILABLE for compsets in GAU table at http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.0/gau-estimates.html Distribution • Development data will not be distributed • How will production data be distributed? – Who? Mechanism? How much? When? Oversight • Need a centralized designated data manager to oversee the above • If there is agreement – who? ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
2011 CSL Proposal Outline Actions and Issues: • Writing teams: o Organized by lead o Review WG requests (finalized by this Friday) o Provide draft sections due in 2 weeks (3 November) • First draft assembled by 5 November (Hurrell) • WG review and provide comments back to SSC by 12 November • Target allocation: 1M GAU/month o Is the correct number? o Current allocation: 925 kGAU/month o Total available: 1.325M GAU/month o Current WG requests (total): 1.095M GAU/month but cannot penalize WGs that hit target! • Number of proposals • One large, or separate development and production proposals? • Separate proposal for production simulations supporting national and international assessment activities? ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡Jim ¡Hurrell ¡ 26 ¡October ¡2010 ¡ CESM ¡Scien>st ¡Mee>ng ¡ jhurrell@ucar.edu ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
