A high-performance framework for Sun-to-Earth space weather modeling

The space weather modeling framework (SWMF) aims at providing software architecture for integrated modeling of different domains of Sun-Earth system and high-performance physics-based space weather simulation. The SWMF component architecture promotes collaboration between developers of individual physics models and empowers them by providing coupling context and parallel and distributed computing support. The framework design places minimal requirements on components. The Web-based graphical user interface facilitates the remote access to the framework even from scientific groups that do not have an access to supercomputers or clusters otherwise.
