Community Modeling on Community Platforms

Doing new and interesting science with a numerical model requires completing a series of steps that are easy to define, yet can be challenging to execute.

This presentation will discuss some challenges and successes in running UFS applications, from the perspective of a member of the university community. Topics will include accessing the code, obtaining computing resources, obtaining model files, configuring and running the model, etc. Particular emphasis will be given to recent developments, particularly around containers, have drastically reduced or removed many of the previous barriers to use.
