AB: The Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) aims at providing a high-performance flexible plug-and-play type framework for physics based space weather simulations, as well as for various space physics applications. The SWMF combines numerical models of the Solar Corona, Eruptive Event Generator, Inner Heliosphere, Solar Energetic Particles, Global Magnetosphere, Inner Magnetosphere, Radiation Belt, Ionosphere Electrodynamics and Upper Atmosphere into a high performance coupled model. All the components can be replaced with alternatives, and one can use only a subset of the components. The components are coupled to the control module via standardized interfaces, and an efficient parallel coupling toolkit can be used for the pairwise coupling of the components. The SWMF enables us to do simulations that were not possible with the individual components. Using reasonably high spatial and temporal resolutions in all the coupled components, the SWMF can still run significantly faster than real time on massively parallel supercomputers. This talk presents the design and implementation of the SWMF with a demonstrative application to a space weather event.
