Adapting ROMS to Execute on GRID Using a Hybrid Parallelization Model

RETELAB project is devoted to the design, develop and deployment of a GRID infrastructure for the Spanish oceanographic research community. They have strong requirements for processing satellite images and numeric simulation. Currently, the infrastructure is under development but there exists an initial architecture that is presented here, together with the requirements related to the execution of oceanographic models based on ROMS. Also, a new JSDL extension is proposed conceptually for parallel jobs in a HTC environment.
