This depends on how you want to run it. For example, on ESGF they use Kubernetes as it is well supported although it would need a Dev-Ops team to implement in your institute. The REF does not require huge amounts of compute; hundreds not thousands of core hours. Some modelling centres are running local copies on their own HPC’s but this can require work-arounds as each HPC system is different. Currently, the API’s are pointing to the AFT REF version, so there would need to be some discussion of requirements. |
