Investigate the current parallelization strategy of the climate model in Julia. Study the TPU architecture and its programming model (e.g., TensorFlow, JAX, or XLA). Identify the main computational kernels that need to be optimized for strong scaling. Look into existing literature on scaling climate models on TPUs. Consider starting with profiling the model on a single TPU and analyzing communication bottlenecks.
