Research Abstract |
The basic research regarding the parallelization of a flood model and real-time flood forecasting system has been carried out in the framework of this project. First, a Yodogawa river distributed rainfall-runoff/flood-inundation (DRR/FI) model is developed. The resolution of the Yodogawa DRR/FI model is 250m (427 times 565=241255 nodes). The CPU time was around 5 min and 30 sec. for 1 hour simulation in the beginning of the research even if a fastest commercial CPU Intel Xeon is used. However, this CPU time is reduced down to 1 min. and 30 sec. by the Open MP thread parallelization with 14 cores of the Intel Xeon. Afterwards, through the cooperation with the SPIRE (Strategic Programs for Innovative Research), the Yodogawa DRR/FI model is transferred to the K supercomputer, then the CPU time is reduced down to several tens of seconds. On the same time, a prototype of the Yodogawa real time flood forecasting system with the input of 1km JMA reanalysis radar rainfall is developed.
