Start Date: 11/30/2005

Purpose: This project is intended to explore the merits of a single-executable, concurrent CCSM; to expose the challenges in creating such a version; and to provide a single-executable CCSM that can be run with the active ocean model, pop2, plus data atm, lnd, and ice.

End Goal: Produce a single-executable, concurrent CCSM that can be run on the IBM BlueGene architecture with pop2+datm7+dice+dlnd, at the gx1v3 resolution, using the "Normal Year" forcing.
