New batches released for DEPICT-SNOW project

Project description:
While global mean snowfall is projected to decrease due to global warming, it remains unclear how the extreme snowfall will respond to global warming. This UK Research and Innovaton (UKRI) funded MSCA project aims to study the response of extreme snowfall in the upcoming decades to future global warming. The project will run three large-ensemble seasonal weather forecast experiments including one control and two sensitivity experiments to accomplish the project objectives. It is anticipated that the results will significantly improve our understanding of future extreme snowfall change.

Technical details:
App: OpenIFS 43r3 Multi-core Linear grid Tl319L91
Linux only.
4 physical cores required (not user changeable).
Expected task run-time: 4-6 days depending on hardware.
Checkpoint files for this app are 4.5Gb.
Each set of model output files is 22Mb.

Please note to contribute to this batch you must enable the 'OpenIFS Tl319' option on the CPDN Project Preferences page on your CPDN web account and have enough free resource in the boinc client for the task.

Please also ensure you have 'Leave non-GPU applications in memory whilst suspended' enabled. This prevents a restart from checkpoint files which is costly.

This application has a peak memory usage of 26Gb. Only one task will be sent to each host at a time.

Please raise any issues/questions on our forums.
