abstract = {Continental-scale hyper-resolution simulations constitute a
grand challenge in characterizing nonlinear feedbacks of
states and fluxes of the coupled water, energy, and
biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial systems. Tackling this
challenge requires advanced coupling and supercomputing
technologies for earth system models that are discussed in
this study, utilizing the example of the implementation of
the newly developed Terrestrial Systems Modeling Platform
(TerrSysMP v1.0) on JUQUEEN (IBM Blue Gene/Q) of the Jülich
Supercomputing Centre, Germany. The applied coupling
strategies rely on the Multiple Program Multiple Data (MPMD)
paradigm using the OASIS suite of external couplers, and
require memory and load balancing considerations in the
exchange of the coupling fields between different component
models and the allocation of computational resources,
respectively. Using the advanced profiling and tracing tool
Scalasca to determine an optimum load balancing leads to a
$19\%$ speedup. In massively parallel supercomputer
environments, the coupler OASIS-MCT is recommended, which
resolves memory limitations that may be significant in case
of very large computational domains and exchange fields as
they occur in these specific test cases and in many
applications in terrestrial research. However, model I/O and
initialization in the petascale range still require major
attention, as they constitute true big data challenges in
light of future exascale computing resources. Based on a
factor-two speedup due to compiler optimizations, a
refactored coupling interface using OASIS-MCT and an optimum
load balancing, the problem size in a weak scaling study can
be increased by a factor of 64 from 512 to 32 768 processes
while maintaining parallel efficiencies above $80\%$ for the
component models.},
