High-performance computation in the geoscience
Convener: Kor de JongECSECS | Co-conveners: Daniel Caviedes-Voullième, Sabine Grießbach

Spatio-temporal datasets are constantly growing in size, due to increases in extent and resolution. Because of
this, existing software to read, write, and store data, and translate the data may not be able to perform the
work in a timely manner anymore. This limits the potential of numerical simulation models and machine learning
models, for example.

In this session we bring together researchers working on novel software for processing large spatio-temporal
datasets. By presenting their work to their colleagues we aim to further strengthen the field of
high-performance computation in the geosciences.

We invite everybody recognizing the problem and working on ways to solve it to submit an abstract to this
session. Topics of interest for this sessions are, for example, related to:

- High-performance computing, parallel computing, distributed computing, cloud computing, asynchronous
computing, accelerated computing, green computing
- Algorithms, libraries, frameworks
- Parallel I/O, data models, data formats, data compression, data cubes, HDF5, NetCDF, Zarr, COG
- Containerization, Docker, Kubernetes, Singularity, Apptainer
- Physically based modelling, physics informed machine learning, surrogate modelling
- Model coupling, model workflow management
- Large scale hydrology, remote sensing, climate modelling
- Lessons learned from case-studies

We recommend authors to highlight the generic aspects of their work that may be especially of interest to
their colleagues.
