Abstract: Abstract We describe the parallelization of the meteorology model METRAS (MEsoscale TRAnsport and Stream) in the context of the America’s Cup 2007 for the South African sailing yacht Shosholoza. METRAS is a community model of the atmosphere whose development is coordinated at the Meteorological Institute, ZMAW, University of Hamburg. The parallelization which is based OpenMP was done at the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) of the University of Karlsruhe and took advantage of the specific features of the Itanium-2 processors available on the local parallel computer HP XC6000. In this paper, we report on the parallelization of the meteorology model METRAS as well as describe how this parallelized version is being used in the highly challenging context of the America’s Cup.
