Our model captures the flow of energy, water, and carbon through key components of the Earth system: atmosphere, ocean, and land. To achieve this landmark simulation, we harness the power of 8192 GPUs on Alps and 20480 GPUs on JUPITER, two of the world’s largest GH200 superchip installations. We use both the Grace CPUs and Hopper GPUs by carefully balancing Earth’s components in a heterogeneous setup and optimizing acceleration techniques available in ICON’s codebase. We show how separation of concerns can reduce the code complexity by half while increasing performance and portability. Our achieved time compression of 145.7 simulated days per day enables long studies including full interactions in the Earth system and even outperforms earlier atmosphere-only simulations at a similar resolution. 001049770 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5122$$a5122 - Future Computing & Big Data Systems (POF4-512)$$cPOF4-512$$fPOF IV$$x0 001049770 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5112$$a5112 - Cross-Domain Algorithms, Tools, Methods Labs (ATMLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)$$cPOF4-511$$fPOF IV$$x1 001049770 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$a5111 - Domain-Specific Simulation & Data Life Cycle Labs (SDLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)$$cPOF4-511$$fPOF IV$$x2 001049770 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel-1)ATML-X-DEV$$aATML-X-DEV - ATML Accelerating Devices (ATML-X-DEV)$$cATML-X-DEV$$x3 001049770 536__ $$0G:(BMFTR)-01LK2316A$$aBMFTR 01LK2316A - Warmworld Smarter (IconRep) (-01LK2316A)$$c-01LK2316A$$x4 001049770 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)BMBF-01LK2204D$$aBMBF 01LK2204D - WarmWorld Modul 3 "Easier" (BMBF-01LK2204D)$$cBMBF-01LK2204D$$x5 001049770 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef Conference 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-8615-5702$$aFrauen, Claudia$$b1 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aEngels, Jan Frederik$$b2 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-6425-2181$$aAlexeev, Dmitry$$b3 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0003-3117-3724$$aRedler, René$$b4 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-7380-8313$$aSchnur, Reiner$$b5 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-9883-5086$$aHaak, Helmuth$$b6 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-0765-2808$$aKornblueh, Luis$$b7 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-9052-6828$$aBrüggemann, Nils$$b8 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0003-4201-0373$$aChegini, Fatemeh$$b9 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)196846$$aRömmer, Manoel$$b10 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)129125$$aHoffmann, Lars$$b11 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)129121$$aGriessbach, Sabine$$b12 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)192255$$aBode, Mathis$$b13 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0003-4526-5021$$aColes, Jonathan$$b14 001049770 7001_ $$00009-0006-9363-7060$$aGila, Miguel$$b15 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0001-5894-0765$$aSawyer, William$$b16 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0001-9095-9108$$aCalotoiu, Alexandru$$b17 001049770 7001_ $$00009-0008-7855-2290$$aBudanaz, Yakup$$b18 001049770 7001_ $$00009-0001-0896-3026$$aMazumder, Pratyai$$b19 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-7606-5519$$aCopik, Marcin$$b20 001049770 7001_ $$00009-0006-8170-8888$$aWeber, Benjamin$$b21 001049770 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)145478$$aHerten, Andreas$$b22 001049770 7001_ $$00009-0008-2753-261X$$aBockelmann, Hendryk$$b23 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-1333-9797$$aHoefler, Torsten$$b24 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0002-7478-6275$$aHohenegger, Cathy$$b25 001049770 7001_ $$00000-0003-3795-0475$$aStevens, Bjorn$$b26 001049770 773__ $$a10.1145/3712285.3771789 001049770 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1049770/files/3712285.3771789.pdf$$yRestricted 001049770 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)196846$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b10$$kFZJ 001049770 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)129125$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b11$$kFZJ 001049770 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)129121$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b12$$kFZJ 001049770 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)192255$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b13$$kFZJ 001049770 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)145478$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b22$$kFZJ 001049770 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-512$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5122$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vSupercomputing & Big Data Infrastructures$$x0 001049770 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5112$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vEnabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering$$x1 001049770 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vEnabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering$$x2 001049770 9141_ $$y2025 001049770 920__ $$lyes 001049770 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Center$$x0 001049770 980__ $$acontrib 001049770 980__ $$aEDITORS 001049770 980__ $$aVDBINPRINT 001049770 980__ $$acontb 001049770 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406 001049770 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
