The Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) is one of ETH’s extradepartmental centers and a joint venture between ETH Zurich, MeteoSwiss, Empa, and WSL. A central focus of C2SM consists of providing technical programming support to the members in the area of weather and climate modelling both for the regional weather and climate model COSMO, as well as for the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic Weather and Climate Model ICON. In particular, C2SM is strongly involved in the further development, maintenance, and hosting of the models, an activity carried out in collaboration with ETH Zurich, MeteoSwiss, and CSCS. We support the versions running on central processing units (CPUs), as well as those running on graphical processor units (GPUs). In addition, C2SM drives the further technical development of this model in the area of high-performance computing towards the exascale within the framework of the open ETH project EXCLAIM.
