Higher Resolution and Large-Scale AI Training

The Earth-2 accelerated systems will let climate scientists produce kilometer (km)-scale climate simulations, conduct large-scale AI training and inference, and achieve low-latency interactivity. NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo integrates support for numerous neural network models for climate and weather simulation.

GPU-Optimized and Accelerated Climate Simulation

The Earth-2 development platform is optimized for GPU-accelerated numerical climate simulations at km-scale to maximize simulated days per day (SDPD).

Data Federation and Interactive Weather Visualization

NVIDIA Omniverse enables ultra-large-scale, high-fidelity, interactive visualizations that depict weather conditions across the globe. Omniverse Nucleus includes a data federation engine that offers transparent data access across external databases and live feeds.

Earth-2 Tools and Microservices

Earth-2’s AI tools and microservices

AI

With Earth-2’s AI tools and microservices, climate and weather application developers can leverage reference AI inference pipelines using pretrained models and training pipelines and NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo for fine-tuning with custom data. Earth-2 offers a portfolio of community models. These models are transformational in their ability to efficiently generate large ensembles or high-resolution predictions by downscaling.
