  2. PRISM: the goals Metadata Source management tomorrow Compiling + running env. Coupling & I/O Science MPI – LAPACK - … today tomorrow Fortran & C Compilers • Increase what Earth system modellers have in common today (compilers, message passing libraries, algebra libraries, etc.) • Share the development, maintenance and support of a wider set of Earth System Modelling software tools and standards.

  3. PRISM: the benefits • reduce the technical development efforts of each individual research team • facilitate assembling, running, monitoring, and post-processing of ESMs based on state-of-the-art component models Help climate modellers spend more time on science: • promote the key scientific diversity • increase scientific collaboration • stimulate computer manufacturer contribution (tool portability, optimization of next generation of platforms for ESM needs)

  4. PRISM: FP5 project and Support Initiative http://prism.enes.org • 2001-2004: the PRISM EU project • a European project funded for 4.8 M€ by the EC • 22 partners • 2005-2008: the PRISM Support Initiative: • 7 partners: CERFACS, CGAM, CNRS, ECMWF, MPI-M&D, UK MetOffice, NEC-CCRLE • 9 associate partners: CSC, CRAY, IPSL, Météo-France, MPI-M, NEC-HPCE, SGI, SMHI, SUN • 8 py/y for 3 years

  6. PRISM: the Areas of Expertise PRISM is organised around 5 “PRISM Areas of Expertise”: • Promotion and, if needed, development of software tools for ESM • Organisation of related network of experts • Technology watch • Promotion of community standards • Coordination with other international efforts
