 	<p><b>Approach.</b> Beagle is being used to study land use, land cover, and the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the global food supply.  Using a DSSAT 4.0 (“decision support system for agrotechnology transfer”) crop systems model ported from Windows, a parallel simulation framework was implemented using Swift. Benchmarks of this framework have been performed on a prototype simulation campaign, measuring yield and climate impact for a single crop (maize) across the conterminous USA with daily weather data and climate model output spanning 120 years (1981-2100) and 16 different configurations of local management (fertilizer and irrigation) and cultivar choice.</p>
 	<p><b>Results.</b> Preliminary results of parallel DSSAT on Beagle have been presented in an NSF/advisory board meeting of the CIM-EARTH project. At right, top 2 maps: Preliminary results of parallel DSSAT: maize yields across the USA with intensive nitrogen application and full irrigation; bottom 2 maps show results with no irrigation. Each model run is ~120,000 DSSAT invocations.</p>
