Within ALADIN and HIRLAM Consortia, the 3 CMCs (ALARO, AROME, HARMONIE-AROME) and the ALADIN configuration run operationally on a wide range of computers, from single workstations to vectorial computers in shared or distributed memory, and on a cluster of workstations under Linux.

 53 operational configurations in short

The table in the joint document summarizes the main data of the 53 main configurations operational in ALADIN/HIRLAM.

 Details on the operational configurations
