GEOS-Chem versions
This page contains links to wiki pages describing past GEOS-Chem model releases. For information about upcoming releases see the GEOS-Chem model development priorities wiki page.
GEOS-Chem development history
In the tables below, we list information about current and past GEOS-Chem releases.
Some notes for the tables below:
- Information about benchmarks can be found by following the links in the "Benchmarks" column
- GCC = GEOS-hem "Classic" (uses OpenMP parallelization single node only)
- GCHP = GEOS-Chem High Performance (uses MPI parallelization across multiple nodes)
- DOI = digital object identifier, can be used to reference individual GEOS-Chem versions in publications
- AMI = Amazon Machine Image, which provides GEOS-Chem Classic on the AWS Cloud
Also see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page for information on how GEOS-Chem versions are labeled.
