HPC

High-performance computing (HPC) refers to tightly integrated compute, storage, and networking infrastructure designed for large-scale scientific and technical workloads.

In climate and Earth-system modeling, HPC environments are used to run numerically intensive simulations, post-process high-volume outputs, and execute ensemble experiments with strict runtime constraints.

Effective HPC operations combine scheduler-aware workflows, parallel storage architecture, and reproducible software environments.
