英文摘要: |
The coupler is fundamental for a coupled model to realize complex interactions among component models. This paper focuses on the coupling process of Wave-Circulation (W-C) coupled model which consists of MASNUM (key laboratory of marine science and numerical modeling wave model) and POM (Princeton Ocean Model). The current coupling module of this coupled model is based on the inefficient I/O file, which has already become a performance bottleneck especially when the coupled model utilizes a large number of processes. To improve the performance of the W-C model, a flexible coupling module based on the model coupling toolkit (MCT) is designed and implemented to replace the current I/O file coupling module in the coupled model. Empirical studies that we have carried out demonstrate that our online coupling module can dramatically improve the parallel performance of the coupled model. The online coupling module outperforms the I/O file coupling module. When processes increase to 96, the whole process of EXP-C takes only 695.8 seconds, which is only 58.8% of the execution time of EXP-F. Based on our experiments under 2D Parallel Decomposition (2DPD), we suggest setting parallel decomposition strategies automatically to component models in order to achieve high parallel efficiency. |
