	abstract = {Climate and weather can be predicted statistically via geospatial Maximum Likelihood Estimates (MLE), as an alternative to running large ensembles of forward models. The MLE-based iterative optimization procedure requires the solving of large-scale linear systems that performs a Cholesky factorization on a symmetric positive-definite covariance matrix---a demanding dense factorization in terms of memory footprint and computation. We propose a novel solution to this problem: at the mathematical level, we reduce the computational requirement by exploiting the data sparsity structure of the matrix off-diagonal tiles by means of low-rank approximations; and, at the programming-paradigm level, we integrate PaRSEC, a dynamic, task-based runtime to reach unparalleled levels of efficiency for solving extreme-scale linear algebra matrix operations. The resulting solution leverages fine-grained computations to facilitate asynchronous execution while providing a flexible data distribution to mitigate load imbalance. Performance results are reported using 3D synthetic datasets up to 42M geospatial locations on 130, 000 cores, which represent a cornerstone toward fast and accurate predictions of environmental applications.},
