In the discussion below, we assume the workbench will run on some local machine while the component models will run on one or more different machines.
This version runs on the updated Java 2 platform using the supported VisAD library.
If the models are run locally (typically this will not be the case if the MM5 code is run) then ssh is not required. The java code has to be directly edited to indicate how the models will be invoked. The "ssh" invocations can be replaced by invocations of the shell on the local host if all code runs locally.
Otherwise you will need to ensure that the target platforms are ssh servers. For more information, see www.openssh.org
Download and unjar the ssh version of the Workbench
Edit JAVADIR at the top of the Makefile to be the location of the JDK. Type 'make' to build the workbench. Type 'make run' to run.
To simplify the possible scenarios presented by the workbench, some of the base components were combined into what looks like one program. The workbench calls a small script which then invokes the pieces.
Download workbench version of runoff model
Download workbench version of mm5coupler (includes a copy of the coupler).
Download workbench version of precipsend (includes a copy of the coupler).
Untar each component in your home directory of the machine you wish to run on. cd to the directory created and build the components as before (./configure followed by 'make').
In the Workbench directory, edit the file 'input' and replace the machine names there (such as pitcairn.mcs.anl.gov) with the machine you've installed the component on.
