This document details the assessment of computational resource usage within the SPoRT program, focusing on tasks deemed computationally "expensive," defined as multiprocessor tasks running for over an hour. The evaluation includes examining the number of processors, task durations, and experiment counts to quantify necessary computational hours for each experimental step. Individual studies such as the AIRS profile and NSSL forecasts are analyzed for CPU resource allocation, providing critical insights into resource efficiency and planning.

Computational Resource Consumption with SpoRT Assessment of Computational Resource usage within the SPoRT program October 2007
Current Activities • Activities in this assessment are only those deemed to be computationally “expensive” • The definition of expensive is generally tasks that are multiprocessor tasks and run for a notable amount of time (generally greater than an hour) 1 Since ADAS is single processor, only fcst is included in this discussion
Quantifying Current Activities • Basic measures needed to determine a quantified comparison of computational resource consumption • the number of processors • the time per individual task • the number of experiments • The product of these measures gives a measure of the computational hours necessary for each “step” within the experimental design • Processor efficiency is not considered
Quantifying Current Activities • The previous chart shows the amount of resources per experimental step • However, each study has more steps per case day • For example, the AIRS profile study runs once a case day • The NSSL forecasts are initialized once a day • The AIRS Radiance study performs 8 assimilation cycles and 4 forecasts a day • Thus, computational hours per case day are considered by taking the product of the steps per day and the computational hours per step
Quantifying Current Activities 1 The Radiance Assimilation study is the total of the DA cycle and the spawned forecasts
