What better time for private equity to capitalize on changing climate
The Next Platformat the time, hardware acceleration in weather modeling and prediction is far from the norm due in part to the sheer volume of legacy code involved.
This combination allowed the IBM and The Weather Company to achieve resolutions down to 3km using a fraction of the hardware that would otherwise be required by a CPU-only system. That particular facet no doubt makes The Weather Company’s models attractive, as it means they should run quite efficiently on modern GPU clusters. By our estimates it would take fewer than a dozen Nvidia DGX H100 systems to achieve performance on par with that 84-node Power9 system we mentioned earlier.As to what Francisco Partners intends to ultimately do with The Weather Company, you can probably guess.
Capitalizing on climate change? We could be snarky here but as profiteers of disasters and other bad news ourselves, who are we to judge? ®
