A ported version of the Unified Model, the Ported Unified Model
(PUM), has also been developed suitable for running on
workstations, PCs running the Linux Open Source operating
system as well as the massively parallel computer systems used
for Operational forecasting at the Met Office.
The focus of most recent, work has been to
optimise the Unified Model for use with vector supercomputers
like the Met Office's NEC SX-8. This has been built upon
previous work, including incorporating a non-hydrostatic
dynamical core into the PUM.
The latest release of the Ported Unified Model, 6.1,
represents a significant upgrade of both the scientific and
technical capabilities of the model. This included significant
porting work to support the use of clusters of commodity-based
computers.
Please note that older versions of the PUM are no longer
supported by the Met Office.
The Ported Unified Model is available for external use under licence.
