Overview of High Performance Computing Power Building for the Big Data of Marine Forecasting

This thesis introduced the construction and development process of high-performance computing of marine forecasting from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong by National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China in the past half century; expounded the “two milestones”: zero breakthrough of high-performance computing of marine forecasting and computing power exceeding 1 billion times per second for the first time from the early 1970s to the late 1990s in high-performance computing of ocean forecasting, and the achievements of ocean forecasting on the journey of globalization, refinement and high resolution with the help of high-performance computing after entering the 21st century; studied, designed and showed a better architecture blueprint for the next generation of the high-performance computer system for marine forecasting; pointed out that there were gaps between the high-performance computing of marine forecasting and the international advanced one, domestic advanced one and professional requirements, and put forward two suggestions to enhance the computing capability of existing equipment through technological innovation and scientific research innovation from the perspective of professional technology; and finally held that there was still a long way to go to build China's high-performance computing power for marine forecasting in comparison with the medium and long-term objectives and tasks of the modernization of marine forecasting.
