Deep Thunder is a research project by IBM that aims to improve short-term local weather forecasting through the use of high-performance computing. It is part of IBM's Deep Computing initiative that also produced the Deep Blue chess computer.
Deep Thunder aims to provide local, high-resolution weather predictions customised to weather-sensitive business operations.. The project began as an outgrowth from a project designed to help provide accurate weather forecasts for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.. It is now headquartered at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or thunder:
“So hills and valleys into singing break;
And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
While active winds and streams both run and speak,
Yet stones are deep in admiration.
Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“O the orator’s joys!
To inflate the chest, to roll the thunder of the voice out from the ribs and throat,
To make the people rage, weep, hate, desire, with yourself,
To lead America—to quell America with a great tongue.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
