A weather science team from China has won 2016 ACM Gordon Bell Prize for their research project, "10M-Core Scalable Fully-Implicit Solver for Nonhydrostatic Atmospheric Dynamics." The winning team presented a method for calculating atmospheric dynamics on the world's fastest computer, the 93 Petaflop Sunway TaihuLight system. "On the road to the seamless weather-climate prediction, a major obstacle is the difficulty of dealing with various spatial and temporal scales. The atmosphere contains time-dependent multi-scale dynamics that support a variety of wave motions."
