E3SM SCREAM Team Receives LLNL Deputy Director’s Science and Technology Excellence in Publication Award
The E3SM SCREAM team has been recognized with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Deputy Director’s Science and Technology Excellence in Publication Award for their impactful paper, To Exascale and Beyond—The Simple Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM), a Performance Portable Global Atmosphere Model for Cloud-Resolving Scales. This LLNL-specific award honors publications that have made a significant impact on the scientific community or advanced key Laboratory missions. The SCREAM paper, published in the past year, has already garnered notable attention, with 19 citations reflecting its influence in the earth system modeling field.
The recognized publication introduces SCREAM, a state-of-the-art atmospheric model engineered to fully utilize modern heterogeneous CPU/GPU computing systems. By employing performance-portable C++ code and the Kokkos library, SCREAM enables global simulations at 3 km resolution, advancing the representation of meso-scale features and the diurnal cycle. The team’s work demonstrates technical innovation and provides valuable insights by comparing model results with satellite and ground-based data. This achievement highlights LLNL’s commitment to pioneering research and excellence in scientific publication.
