PROFILE
Simon Lang
Simon Lang contributed to the ecmwf/anemoi-core repository by engineering advanced deep learning and graph neural network features for ensemble weather and climate models. He implemented robust data handling, diffusion-based training, and modular graph processing, using Python and PyTorch to enable scalable, reproducible model training across distributed systems. Simon refactored model architectures for ensemble support, introduced NaN-safe loss functions, and improved GPU parallelism and memory efficiency. His work addressed critical bugs in edge computation and synchronization, enhanced testing with GPU acceleration, and streamlined configuration management. These efforts resulted in a maintainable, flexible codebase supporting dynamic graphs, multi-scale losses, and production-ready workflows.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 performance summary for ecmwf/anemoi-core: Delivered a major Training Framework Overhaul with Graph Providers and Mapper Modularity, enabling static/dynamic graphs, multi-dataset support, and a clean separation of concerns between mappers, processors, and graph connectivity. Added Configurable Gradient Checkpointing to optimize memory usage during training via the maybe_checkpoint utility, controlled by configuration flags. Included a migration script for existing checkpoints to ease transition to the new framework. Documentation previews for training and models were updated to reflect the new architecture. These changes improve maintainability, scalability, and collaboration across teams, setting the stage for dynamic graph workloads and larger-scale experiments.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for ecmwf/anemoi-core: Focused on configuration safety and maintainability for CRPS training. Removed the unsupported GNN configuration (gnn_ens.yaml) and related GNN settings since CRPS training no longer supports GNN configurations. This prevents incompatible configurations from being used, reducing runtime errors and support overhead. Commit: d5eecd2631bf4000f85cfe5fc8a54ea5506263f5. Repo impact: ecmwf/anemoi-core.
