The NASA-funded Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) is developed to provide "plug and play" type Sun-to-Earth simulation capabilities serving the space physics modeling community. In its fully developed form, the SWMF will comprise a series of interoperating models of physics domains, ranging from the surface of the Sun to the upper atmosphere of the Earth. In its current form the SWMF links together five models: Global Magnetosphere, Inner Heliosphere, Ionosphere Electrodynamics, Upper Atmosphere, and Inner Magnetosphere. The framework permits to switch models of any type. The SWMF is a structured collection of software building blocks that can be used or customized to develop Sun-Earth system modeling components, and to assemble them into application. The SWMF consist of utilities and data structures for creating model components and coupling them. The SWMF contains Control Model, which controls initialization and execution of the components. It is responsible for component registration, processor layout for each component and coupling schedules. A component is created from the user-supplied physics code by adding a wrapper, which provides the control functions and coupling interface to perform the data exchange with other components. Both the wrapper and coupling interface are constructed from the building blocks provided by the framework itself. The current SWMF implementation is based on the latest component technology and uses many important concepts of Object-Oriented Programming emulated in Fortran 90. Currently it works on Linux Beowulf clusters, SGI Origin 2000 and Compaq ES45 machines.
