Constructed and expanded high-performance computing
Linux clusters that have 2000 CPUs and 200 TB disk space to host 70 active
users. Supervised six existing Linux clusters and numerous
Unix/Linux/Windows/Mac workstations and servers. Provided
guidance and assistance in computer software, hardware, network, security, web
maintenance and design, printing, data recovery, and scientific programming to
the SoMAS community.
Skills
Experienced
in global and regional climate model development and validation using the
satellite observations for example OLR and TRMM precipitation, in cumulus cloud-
circulation interaction, in constructing high-performance Linux clusters for
running the WRF and NCAR CCSM, and in using high-level computer languages,
super computers and workstations.
