You may not need to go to the trouble of setting this up because I'm working on an updated Linux version of weather at home, which we'll use as the code for the windows version. That would be really good. As I remember, the logic behind making WAH Windows only was having models be single platform improved consistency across batches. Will there be testing to check that all other things being equal the results from a given task will be the same whichever platform it is on? |

In practise the spread in forecast differences from running on different hardware/OS, should be considerably less than the spread from perturbations applied by the scientist to the model's starting state. I know this was looked at in a published paper years ago in the original long climate runs. People at CPDN will know more about this than me as I come from a weather forecast background, where the aim is to get the spread of forecast results about the same as the known errors in the data. As an aside, in the recent news about Google DeepMind's new AI weather forecast model, they stated they can't yet do ensemble forecasting. That's important because ensemble forecasting is key to understanding how good your 'best' forecast is. --- CPDN Visiting Scientist |
