These epistemological questions when combined with ontological questions have philosophers pondering what exists and how we know it exists.

CONCLUSION In this paper, we presented a software toolkit AutoWM for universal multi-/many-core accelerations of the WRF cloud microphysics schemes on multiple parallel platforms. The basic idea of AutoWM is to modularize the conversion processes of WRF microphysics as building blocks and use the platform-specific code segments to reconstruct well optimized microphysics codes.
