My Research Project This Summer

This summer I am working on a research project with Michelle Strout involving scalability of code that simulates the Earth's atmosphere. I will be experimenting on how well the software we have will scale onto a larger number of processors by seeing how much faster the program runs as more processors are added.

Right now I am learning Fortran90 and MPI, since these are the programs I am going to be using on the atmospheric research code. I'm writing a program that calculates the heat dissipation in a bar over time, using MPI to run on multiple processors at once. You can see the results of the program here.
