All you need to know about the Digital Twin Engine

In a recent explainer page published by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWFEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts More), they go in-depth about the concept, Destination Earth’s (DestinE) Digital Twin Engine and its main features. 

The Digital Twin Engine (DTE) ECMWFEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts More develops together with many partners across Europe is one of the main components of the novel information system DestinE represents. By pooling together a series of digital tools, the Digital Twin Engine acts as a performant software framework for Earth System Model Workflows, allowing for several critical activities to be performed. 

For example, the DTE helps orchestrate and run the the DestinE Digital Twins on some of the largest supercomputers in the world, provided by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, and allows the exploitation of their data through new data handling and interactivity capabilities. 

To get a better understanding of the DTE’s specific roles and grasp the features it helps unlocking within the system, check-out the rest of the story on ECMWF’s in-depth explainer, “The Digital Twin Engine”.
