Software development

• CSDMS Best Practices for Software Development, a document (under construction) that Eric, Mariela, and I have been thinking about for a long time
• Test shell type
• Installing a Python distro for testing and development
  • Shorter Miniconda install instructions
• Landing page for CSDMS software products: https://csdms.github.io

pymt

pymt is the Python Modeling Toolkit.

• The pymt landing page: https://csdms.github.io/pymt
• The pymt page on the CSDMS wiki: PyMT
• pymt documentation: https://pymt.readthedocs.io
• The pymt source on GitHub: https://github.com/csdms/pymt

WMT

The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool (WMT) can be found at https://csdms.colorado.edu/wmt.

General information:

• The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool
• The WMT 1.0 release announcement
• The WMT 1.1 release announcement

Using WMT:

• WMT Help
• WMT Tutorial

Developer notes for installing and configuring WMT:

• Installing a WMT executor
  • wmt-testing executor on siwenna
  • wmt-permafrost executor on siwenna
  • wmt-analyst executor on siwenna
  • wmt-hydrology executor on siwenna
  • wmt-testing executor on blanca
  • wmt-permafrost executor on blanca
  • wmt-analyst executor on blanca
  • wmt-hydrology executor on blanca
• Installing a WMT server
  • wmt-permafrost server on diluvium
  • wmt-analyst server on diluvium
  • wmt-hydrology server on diluvium
• Installing a WMT client
  • Build and deploy a WMT client
• Uncategorized WMT developer notes

Like Roger Zelazny's Amber, siwenna is the one true site of the WMT executors. All others are but shadows.

WMT source code:

• wmt-client
• wmt-server
• wmt-executor

We're using "WMT" and "PyMT", by analogy with NumPy and SciPy (but not Astropy). Eric and I were thinking earlier that we should use "wMT" and "pyMT" to emphasize that they're modeling tools.

Dakota

I've set up a wiki page for all things Dakota.

Individual pages:

• Dakotathon wiki page
• The CSDMS model page for Dakotathon
• Configuring Dakota on beach
• Using Dakota on beach
• Building Dakota on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

There is a tool that is similar in concept to the CSDMS Dakota interface: https://github.com/wisdem/pyDAKOTA, but it's a bit different in what it provides.

BMI and componentization

• Instructions for adding a BMI to a model
• Turning a model into a CSDMS component

PBS

The Permafrost Benchmark System.

• Main page: https://permamodel.github.io/pbs/
• DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1410621
• PBS executor on siwenna
• PBS server on diluvium
• PBS client on diluvium

• Main page navbar entries are here: MediaWiki:Sidebar
• An article on using the Ask API to access model metadata from the CSDMS wiki
• A table of Ask API examples
• An example of counting and listing all CSDMS members
• I've had to look up how to add a signature about 10 times already
• Software Engineering and Training pages
