I think I was able to run WRF or a similar model on my laptop in 2010 (A Macbook Pro with a Core 2 Duo). It took about a day to compile and run the sample dataset. I gave a presentation about it at my weather forecasting class. I almost got it running with our local sounding data but I ran out of lab time I needed for the class. It was fun though I was reading reddit while it was compiling and running. I was the only person to give a presentation about it in my weather forecasting class.
- milancurcic 9y agoKudos for sticking through with it for your class project! I have been working with and have contributed to WRF code since 2009, and it's sure not straightforward. Porting it to different HPC systems can be especially painful. This pain point was one of main motivators for building Cloudrun.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoSo, the class was actually structured so that you had to perform ~40 hours of lab work. By using your software I could read reddit and perform lab work by babysitting a compiler. So thank you for allowing me to use up all of that lab time :)
