LoadRunner
Acknowledgements
The computational core of LoadRunner is
the LOADEST
program, developed at USGS, by Robert L. Runkel, Charles G. Crawford,
and Timothy A. Cohn.
Funding for LoadRunner was generously provided by NSF-Ecosystems through a CAREER grant,
and by the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Science. The Intel
Mac port was funded by the Woods Hole Research Center's NSF-funded Student
Partners Project (www.studentpartnersproject.org).
LoadRunner was written by
Ginger Booth, a freelance programmer, per
specification by Peter Raymond and Neung-Hwan Oh, of the Yale School of Forestry
and Environmental Science. Robert Max Holmes of Woods Hole
commissioned the
Intel Mac ports of LoadRunner and LOADEST.
LoadRunner is essentially glueware to automate running LOADEST
from USGS data, which comes from the USGS websites:
