Abstract

Typical Earth system models involve coupled model components in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. In the last few years, several frameworks have been developed for HPC applications. Two of them are component-based frameworks: the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) defining a component interface for Earth system models and the Common Component Architecture (CCA) defining a generic component model. The purpose of this work is to investigate the relationship between ESMF and CCA to deploy the best features of ESMF and CCA into a ESMF–CCA prototype and examine the prototype through a representative coupled climate model.
