Joint CSDMS-SEN annual meeting 2016: Capturing Climate Change
BMI: Live!
Abstract
CSDMS has developed the Basic Model Interface (BMI) to simplify the conversion of an existing model in C, C++, Fortran, Java, or Python into a reusable, plug-and-play component. By design, the BMI functions are straightforward to implement. However, in practice, the devil is in the details.
In this hands-on clinic, we will take a model -- in this case, an implementation of the two-dimensional heat equation in Python -- and together, we will write the BMI functions to transform it into a component. As we develop, we’ll unit test our component with nose, and we’ll explore how to use the component with a Jupyter Notebook. Optionally, we can set up a GitHub repository to store and to track changes to the code we write.
To get the most out of this clinic, come prepared to code! We have a lot to write in the time allotted. We recommend that clinic attendees have a laptop with the Anaconda Python distribution installed. We also request that you skim:
