‘Using Task Farming to Optimise a Street-Scale Resolution Air Quality Model of the West Midlands (UK)’
A new journal paper, co-authored with CERC researchers, investigates the effect on run time and computational expense when using spatial splitting – an option in ADMS-Urban v5.0 which has been used to speed up run times for modelling of the UK West Midlands region – over increasing numbers of cores. The reduced run times allowed the production of high-resolution contour plots and averages over different spatial areas and temporal subsets, which may be relevant for exposure and population health calculations and can be repeated for multiple emissions scenarios.
