at the recent NATO ASI on climate modelling we ran the CCM3 at medium
resolution (T31 truncated to 15 meridional wavenumbers) on a Sun Ultra
with 128Mb of memory and 1Gb disk. At this resolution one year took about
18 hours, in those rare cases when runs were not interrupted by full disk,
thunderstorms, someone inadvertently turning off the power at the wall,
etc. In considering hardware requirements I would pay special attention
to getting lots of disk space, especially if you want to do higher
resolution runs.
