Odycloud Numerical Weather Prediction on AWS is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for support and optimization of WRF for AWS infrastructure. Support to model users on how to launch and manage WRF is provided through support@odyhpc.com and videoconferencing. The AMI includes an integration of WRF with several open-source apps for data processing optimized for AWS infrastructure powered with Intel-Scalable processors. It has dual functionality as it can be used either on single instances or by clusters launched with AWS ParallelCluster; cluster performance & cost monitoring is also available. The AMI works with spot prices (usual conditions apply) for instances and cluster compute nodes.
The package includes the following features:
-Implementation of WRF v4.5, WRF-CHEM, WRFDA and WRFPLUS optimized for maximum performance in AWS instances powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors (recommended series for peak performance: c5n, m5zn and c6i).
-The AMI also includes WPS for preprocessing tasks along with WRF-python, ARWPost, GrADS and IDV as postprocessing tools.
-Excellent scalability for clusters using Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA).
-Availability of NICE-DCV connection for high-performance remote display.
-App to accelerate the download of GFS data.
-Customized Grafana dashboards to monitor performance & cost of AWS clusters.
