CAS2K11
September 11-14, 2011

Computing in Atmospheric Sciences 2011 (CAS2K11) is the tenth biennial meeting in a series hosted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research under sponsorship from the U.S. National Science Foundation. CAS2K11 will bring together international colleagues to share their latest experiences and information technology advances that enable scientists to advance the state-of-the-art in atmospheric sciences.

Keynote addresses will include such topics as the Milky Way System (Tianhe- 1A aka TH-1A) located at the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin. It is currently the fastest supercomputer in the world. Another keynote will give an overview of the latest in CMIP5 [http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov](Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) that will then be followed by an international panel to share the latest efforts on CMIP5 computing from around the world.

Presentation and discussion topics for CAS2K11 will include:

* Performance of weather forecasting and Earth system model applications on high-end supercomputers, and their readiness to exploit petascale "class" systems
* Data-intensive applications and data collection efforts in earth system science
* High performance computing datacenter challenges and innovations
* HPC user management best practices
* Atmospheric sciences benchmarking for HPC Procurements

The workshop will also include presentations from key industry vendors.
