So combining these things is big. matched

Yeah, yeah, yeah. matched

And apparently this one was like a leaps and bounds. matched

Like they made a big leap when NVIDIA went from their previous super chip to the Grace Hopper 200. matched

Right. matched

So now, yeah, combine that with what's going on over at IBM and wow. matched

Yeah. matched

Yeah, yeah. matched

And also other hardware, right? matched

They're using these massive supercomputers in order to run it because it just takes – it takes so much of everything. matched

But that's what they – the authors at least really put a lot of the kind of onus – I guess that's not quite the right word. matched

But they say that this is really only possible because of that GPU-CPU bifurcation. matched

Yeah. matched

It allows them to run the FAST models. matched

Previous to that, they could have only done the carbon cycle models. matched

So they're doing the carbon cycle models on the CPU portion in parallel with the FAST models on the GPU portion. matched

So the weather and climate is being modeled sort of at the same time due to this big innovation in the chip. matched

I think that's what the icon is. matched

Yeah, basically they're taking a model that has been used in Germany and that is, I think, yeah, completely validated because it's in use today through ICON. matched

And then they are, because of this computational power, it made a huge leap from like 40 plus kilometers down to like 1.25 in resolution, which is enough to talk about weather. matched
