== Introduction ==

We are targeting the development of a new UCVM (tentatively slated for release in September 2016). This version will represent an overhaul of the existing UCVM framework and include a number of major technological changes:

* Python 3-based
** Compatible with Anaconda
* Embedded Python APIs for interacting with the platform
* Easier installation (python setup.py)
* Must work on the latest supercomputers

The goal would be to minimize the amount of C code that we need to keep in the platform. We will have to evaluate the speed of the Python version and ensure that it can generate the e-trees efficiently.

== Supported Models ==

The models that UCVM will support moving forward include:

* CVM-S4
* CVM-H 15.1.0
* CCA
* CVM-S4.26
* CVM-S4.26.M01
* USGS Bay Area
* Lin-Thurber
* Broadband 1D model format (including Whittier Narrows)
* SCEC 1D background model (modified Hadley-Kanamori)

== Development Timeline ==

Proposed initial sprint:

'''July 5 - July 8, 2016'''

Merge the new plotting utilities and the very basic prototype of UCVM that I had developed earlier. Develop the following capabilities:

* Develop a Python CCA model code that works with iteration 6 of the model
* A Python-based ucvm_query-like utility that can read this model as well as CVM-S4 (the legacy Fortran code)
* Make the setup.py script auto download the new CCA and legacy CVM-S4 code and build the Fortran code like before
* Make the plotting scripts use this new cvm_query-like utility and Python code to extract the vertical profiles from:
** The SRL paper
** The CCA profiles for the CyberShake model
* Develop tests for all of this to ensure it is working correctly using the standard Python unit test framework
