Show moreThis technical report describes the distributed computing aspects of the CO-OP 3D project and involves the use of the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite to link distant supercomputers running a coupled atmosphere-ocean prediction system. The project features work in four areas: modeling, visualization, networking, and distributed computing. The modeling aspects are described in more detail by Powers (1996), the visualization aspects are described in more detail by Carlson et al. (1995) and the networking aspects are described in more detail by Fair (1996). Show less
