Abstract: A hybrid parallelisation technique for distributed memory systems is investigated for a coupled Fourier-spectral/hp element discretisation of domains characterised by geometric homogeneity in one or more directions.

The ECMWF HPC facilities are composed by two identical Cray XC30 systems that support both operational forecast requirements of the centre and research.

Copper is a Cray XE6 system and supports research programs of the United the States Department of Defense (DoD). The system is provided for computationally based science and engineering and is intended for high performance computing, large-scale storage, and utility computing.
