Parallel ocean modeling using Glenda

Abstract

This paper will discuss our use of Glenda to parallelize the ocean modeling program SWEM. Following an introduction to both SWEM and Glenda, we will describe the details of the parallelization process. We also discuss many of the problems we encountered, as well as the debugging methods we used to resolve them. Finally, we describe our test results and discuss how our model compared with another parallel version of SWEM.
