CSDMS 2014 annual meeting - Uncertainty and Sensitivity in Surface Dynamics Modeling
WMT: The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool
Abstract
The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool (WMT) is the web-based successor to the desktop Component Modeling Tool (CMT). WMT presents a drag-and-drop interface that allows users to build and run coupled surface dynamics models from a web browser on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer.
With WMT, a user can:
* Design a coupled model from a list of available components
* Edit the parameters of the model components
* Save the coupled model to a server, where it can be accessed from any computer
* Set run parameters, including the computer/cluster on which to run the model
* Share saved modeling projects with others in the community
* Submit jobs to the high-performance computing system
Although WMT is web-based, the building and configuration of a model can be done offline. The user can then reconnect to save a model and submit it for a run.
In this clinic we present an overview of WMT, including an explanation of the user interface, a listing of the currently available models and a discussion of how models can be run in operational mode or in reduced-input mode for teaching. We cap the clinic with a live demonstration of setting up, saving and running a coupled model on the CSDMS supercomputer system.
