This component project uses a transversal approach and is responsible for the search and analysis of advanced information technologies (TIs), and their operation in order to perform more efficient simulations that deal with impacts caused by climate change in the country's agriculture. The project is linked to the project "Simulation of Agricultural Future Scenarios from the Regional Climate Change Projections" and will take a look at technology alternatives in a system of high performance parallel processing, do develop a more efficient grid and/or cluster to simulate and store climate scenery data. It will be also responsible for the analysis and definition of the format and import process of data regarding the sceneries that will compose the database. Also, it will project, develop and test the simulator in accordance with the restrictions of computer environments and of climate sceneries.
