The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) will soon receive an IBM supercomputer to improve weather forecasting in the country.
According to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), IBM will donate the said supercomputer which can help weathermen make more accurate forecasts and extend their normal three-day forecast to seven. In addition, the computer can also process data on what would be the weather outlook of the country in the next 5 to 10 years.
The supercomputer would also allow the agency to use advanced modeling software which should take advantage of the weather sensors installed in the country such as Doppler radars. Currently there are 10 Doppler radars operating nationwide measuring the amount of rainfall brought by an incoming typhoon. According to DOST director Raymund Liborio, the agency is planning to install five more Doppler radars which would be installed in strategic areas in the country.

Are they donating the hardware but charging for the maintenance? Or will that be free as well?
IMHO, as a third-world, developing country, we don’t need a “supercomputer”. We’re better off relying on a custom bank/cluster of off-the-shelf available components which are cheaper to run and maintain and non-proprietary/more open.
Something like that entire slew of PS2s someone built a few years back, or for a more recent implementation, those Raspberry Pi clusters people have been making.
Cheaper, less power to run, cooler, easier/simpler maintenance.

PAG-ASA is just PA-ASA. Imagine signal number 2 daw nung saturday. eh ang taas naman ng araw. These supercomputers are useless if luma or kulang pa rin ang mga device for monitoring weather.
VOVOMOTLGAPRAMIS says:
Sir first of all d nyu ata naiintindihan kung para san ang signal numbers,di ibig sabihin na biglang tinaas sa lugar nyu ang signal no2 umuulan na ng malakas sa lugar nyo…ginagamit po ito para paalahanan ang mga tao sa darating na delubyo dulot ng bagyo sa kanila….at last weather forecasting is FORECASTING, sa tagalog nanghuhula kaya kahit ganu kamodern ang mga kagamitan natin d pa rin to 100% accurate
wicked says:
Nope, dyan ka nagkakamali, sa Japan pag sinabing uulan sa hapon sigurado uulan. Alam ng mga tao dun kung kelan magdadala ng payong at hindi.
Puro panghuhula na nga ginagawa ng PAGASA pinagtatanggol mo pa…
tangahahaha says:
@wicked kaw na mismo nagsabe, pag sa JAPAN sinabi na uulan, uulan talaga kahit naman dito sa pilipinas…ang sinasabi ko d porket na sinabi na signal no2 uulan na AGAD isa ka pang wlang alm eh hahaha tska d ganun kaaccurate ang PAGASA dahil mejo luma kagamitan nla

Why not just use open and cheap solutions? I’m sure DOST Engineers have knowledge about cloud computing(Openstack + Hadoop). This solutions does not need pricey and speedy hardware.
CCIE#1836 says:
Amen to that, Use cloud and virtualize things.
Mr A says:
Those serives are more for people needing a fraction of the processing power of a server/computer. It would be cheaper to have the hardware than use these service, since they charge you based on the amount of load you put in it.

@people who suggests more advanced and modern solutions
Wag na kaung umasa(pardon the pun). Almost all government agencies are way, way behind the times when it comes to tech. Bureaucracy, red tape, senior management culture…
NotSoBad says:
Regarding more advanced and modern solutions –
I don’t think PAGASA has the proper funding to attract talents\resource persons that are capable of implementing these proposed advanced and modern solutions.

2 trends makes buying super-computers an expensive option: linux computer clusters and cloud computing. Come on, DOST! Don’t get trapped to hardware that will be obsolete in 10 years time. Look for more cost-effective solutions. Ask ASTI. Ingatan nyo naman ang pera ng bayan. A bank of 100 AMD and 100 Intel processors in a Beowulf linux cluster is more than sufficient and less costly.
