Computing Resources at HRL

HRL houses several stand-alone machines along with different computational environments accessing cluster computing resources with large RAM and specialized servers. A number of hydrological modeling software available in public domain, ArcGIS, watershed modeling system (WMS) and several others dealing with hydro-meteorology (precipitation data processing, infilling, radar-based precipitation analysis) software developed at HRL are also available on several computational platforms. A variety of  software  dealing with optimization and artifical neural networks, data mining  and statistical analysis are also available.  Computationally intense tasks that handle large data sets in space and time and processing capabilities to handle geospatial analysis and geostatistics are also available for hydrologic simulation and water resources management studies.

HRL hosts several networked state-of-the-art computing facilities on variety of computing platforms/environments. The facilities provide several software for:

• Statistical Dowsncaling of GCM-based Hydrologic variables
• Climate Change Analysis
• Spatial Interpolation
• Radar-Rainfall Processes
• Hydrologic Modeling
• Deterministic and Stochastic Optimization
• Spatial Analysis
• Watershed Modeling
• Water Quality Modeling
• Object-Oriented Simulation
• Decision Support Systems
