Abstract

Project Athena, a multi-institutional, international collaboration, aimed at ensuring better climate modeling. Researchers began paving the way for efficient use of dedicated supercomputing facilities to enable higher resolution climate modeling with potentially large improvements in fidelity. Efforts to mitigate the impacts of and successfully adapt to a changing climate required the investment of trillions of dollars worldwide. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) fostered an international collaboration for advancing climate prediction and found a way to provide the required large computational resource through the project. The Athena supercomputer, a Cray XT-4 with 4,512 quad-core nodes operated by the University of Tennessee's National Institute for Computational Science (NICS) and hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), was scheduled to be decommissioned following its replacement by a larger machine.
