 == Simulation setups for category-1 tests ==
-Direct checking of code for compliance to FORTRAN coding standard, as well as specific [PALM coding standard]
+Category 1 includes checks of the PALM-4U source code for compliance to the general FORTRAN coding standard, as well as to the specific PALM formatting rules. Further, the code is tested for run-time errors as well as compiler-dependent functionality issues, and simulation results are checked for elementary plausibility. For this purpose '''s'''mall setups are sufficient, suitable to run on desktop PCs (2-4 processor cores) within a time frame of O(1-10min).\\
+Three setups with different generic building topographies and tree distributions are available (see Fig. 2), making use of the urban surface model (USM), clear-sky radiation model, and plant canopy model (PCM). To summarize some of the setup features:\\
+* Domain: 20 x 20 x 20 m³
+* Grid size: 2m 
+* Moderate wind from west
+* Clear-sky conditions, dry atmosphere (USM does not yet consider latent heat fluxes in surface energy balance)
+* Cyclic lateral boundary conditions

+
+For each of the three setups, a [[[.zip]]] archive can be downloaded, containing [[[INPUT, MONITORING, OUTPUT]]] files and a [README] file with the setup documentation:
+* [attachment:generic_cube.zip generic_cube] setup
+* [attachment:generic_canyon.zip generic_canyon] setup
+* [attachment:generic_crossing.zip generic_crossing] setup
 
 == Simulation setups for category-2 tests ==
-
+Two differently sized setups are defined:
+* ('''M''')edium setup for run-time optimization tests, and verification of the code efficiency on the MOSAIK [wiki:idefix demonstration PC]
+* ('''L''')arge setup for ''code scalability'' tests on a high-performance computing system ([https://www.hlrn.de/home/view HLRN]) with up to tens of thousands processor cores (see Fig. 3.
+The base of PALM-4U -- [https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac PALM] -- is highly optimized and its performance scales well up to 40,000 processor cores. PALM-4U shall maintain this high level of performance optimization.
 
 == Simulation setups for category-3 tests ==
 These setups will be formulated once a decision has been made (in coordination with module B & C partners) which UCMs to apply.
-On MOSAIK's side, [www.envi-met.com ENVIMET], [http://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/umwelt/umweltatlas/download/FITNAH_Modellanwendung.pdf FITNAH], and [http://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/muklimo_thermodynamik/muklimo_thermo.html MUKLIMO_3] are on the shortlist. Selected setups must be compatible to run with PALM-4U as well as with the UCM of choice.
