The Cooperative Computing Lab

Community Highlight

The OpenTopography service provides online access to geospatial data and computational tools in support of earth sciences.  The Effective Energy and Mass Transfer (EEMT) tool allows for computations of energy transfer in the Earth's critical zone, taking into account topography, vegetation, weather, and so forth.  To scale these computations up to large clusters, the CCL's Makeflow and Work Queue frameworks are employed to construct large scale parallel workflows at the touch of a button from the OpenTopography website.
