  In this report we present a novel approach to model coupling for
shared-memory multicore systems hosting OpenCL-compliant accelerators, which we
call The Glasgow Model Coupling Framework (GMCF). We discuss the implementation
of a prototype of GMCF and its application to coupling the Weather Research and
Forecasting Model and an OpenCL-accelerated version of the Large Eddy Simulator
for Urban Flows (LES) developed at DPRI.
  The first stage of this work concerned the OpenCL port of the LES. The
methodology used for the OpenCL port is a combination of automated analysis and
code generation and rule-based manual parallelization. For the evaluation, the
non-OpenCL LES code was compiled using gfortran, fort and pgfortran}, in each
case with auto-parallelization and auto-vectorization. The OpenCL-accelerated
version of the LES achieves a 7 times speed-up on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480
GPGPU, compared to the fastest possible compilation of the original code
running on a 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2640.
  In the second stage of this work, we built the Glasgow Model Coupling
Framework and successfully used it to couple an OpenMP-parallelized WRF
instance with an OpenCL LES instance which runs the LES code on the GPGPI. The
system requires only very minimal changes to the original code. The report
discusses the rationale, aims, approach and implementation details of this
work.
