Standard Running Environment

Contents

Overview

The PRISM standard running environment (SRE) is intended to facilitate running a coupled model. A common look and feel for all PRISM coupled model combinations minimises the effort to setup and run coupled model experiments. The standards also help designing and running new coupled model combinations and facilitate portability to new platforms.

As the SCE, the SRE provides a comprehensive set of utilities to generate standardised tasks (i.e. scripts for model integration, data pre- or postprocessing, visualisation and archiving of output data). The tasks are composed of several short include files, some of them platform or model dependant. These files are assembled to the tasks using the m4 preprocessor. This method allows for easy adaptation to new coupled models or new platforms as model and site dependant sections are clearly identified. The SRE can be enlarged for a new model or a new platform. For further information on the SRE please read the SRE handbook (Gayler and Legutke, 2004) PDF Document. More information can also be found on the old FP5 PRISM project pages Links to external site. These pages give an overview of the SCE and SRE development activities during the PRISM project. [Please note: These pages are not updated anymore and as a result not all links are still active.]
