The CSDMS Workbench
The CSDMS Workbench is the integrated system of software tools, technologies, and standards developed by CSDMS for designing, building, interfacing, and coupling models. Each element of the CSDMS Workbench is developed as open source software and released to the community under the MIT License. The CSDMS Workbench consists of five core elements:
| The Basic Model Interface (BMI) is a set of functions that standardizes how numerical models can be queried, modified, and run. A model with a BMI exposes the same set of functions, no matter which language the model is written in. While a BMI can be specified for any language, CSDMS currently supports C, C++, Fortran, and Python. [documentation, source repository] |  |
| Standard Names provides a standard grammar for variable names, facilitating interoperability and information exchange between models that expose a Basic Model Interface. | |
| The Babelizer is a utility for wrapping libraries, from a variety of languages, that expose a Basic Model Interface (BMI) so that they can be imported as a Python package. |  |
| The Python Modeling Tool (PyMT) provides the tools needed for coupling models that expose a Basic Model Interface. PyMT provides utilities for coupling models of disparate time and space scales, a collection of Earth-surface models, and an extensible plug-in framework for adding new models. |  |
| Landlab is library that allows users to easily build unique earth surface processes models to address specific hypotheses. The Landlab library contains gridding engines for building regular and irregular grids, process components that act on grid variables, tools for storing and sharing data among the grid and components, and plotting and analysis tools. |  |
