MITgcmUV Getting Started |

This note is a guide to using the MIT General Circulation Model Ultra Verstaile |
| 10 |
|
|
implementation, MITgmcUV. MITgcmUV is a Fortran code that implements the |
| 11 |
|
|
algorithm described in Marshall et. al. 1997, Hill, Adcroft, ... |
| 12 |
|
|
The MITgcmUV implementation is designed to work efficiently on all classes |
| 13 |
|
|
of computer platforms. It can be used in both a single processor mode |
| 14 |
|
|
and a parallel processor mode. Parallel processing can be either multi-threaded |
| 15 |
|
|
shared memory such as that found on CRAY T90 machines or it can be multi-process |
| 16 |
|
|
distributed memory. A set of "execution enviroment" support routines are |
| 17 |
|
|
used to allow the same numerical code to run on top of a single-process, multi-threaded |
| 18 |
|
|
or distributed multi-process configuration. |

|
|
o Installing |
| 21 |
|
|
To setup the model on a particular computer the code tree must be created |
| 22 |
|
|
and appropriate compile and run scripts set up. For some platforms |
| 23 |
|
|
the necessary scripts are included in the release - in this case follow |
| 24 |
|
|
the steps below: |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
1. Extract MITgcmUV from the downloadable archive |
| 27 |
cnh |
1.9 |
tar -xvf checkpoint12.tar |
| 28 |
cnh |
1.7 |
|
| 29 |
|
|
2. Create platform specific make file |
| 30 |
|
|
For example on a Digital UNIX machine the script "genmake.dec" can |
| 31 |
|
|
be used as shown below |
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
cnh |
1.9 |
cd bin |
| 34 |
|
|
../tools/genmake |
| 35 |
|
|
cp Makefile.alpha Makefile |
| 36 |
cnh |
1.7 |
|
| 37 |
|
|
3. Now create header file dependency entries |
| 38 |
|
|
make depend |
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
4. Compile code |
| 41 |
|
|
make |
| 42 |

|
5. Copy input files |
| 44 |
cnh |
1.9 |
cp ../verification/exp2/[a-z]* ../verification/exp2/*bin . |
| 45 |
cnh |

6. Run baseline test case |
| 47 |
cnh |
1.7 |
setenv PARALLEL 1 |
| 48 |
cnh |
1.9 |
dmpirun -np 2 ../exe/mitgcmuv |

|
This runs a 4 degree global ocean climatological simulation. |
| 51 |
|
|
By default this code is set to use two porcessors splitting |
| 52 |
|
|
the model domain along the equator. Textual output is written |
| 53 |
|
|
to files STDOUT.* and STDERR.* with one file for each process. |
| 54 |
|
|
Model fileds are written to files suffixed .data and .meta |
| 55 |
|
|
These files are written on a per process basis. The .meta |
| 56 |
|
|
file indicates the location and shape of the subdomain in |
| 57 |
|
|
each .data file. |

Required files |
| 64 |
|
|
============== |
| 65 |
|
|
The model is configured to look for two files with fixed names. |
| 66 |
|
|
These files are called |
| 67 |
|
|
"eedata" and "data". |
| 68 |
|
|
The file eedata contains "execution environment" data. At present |
| 69 |
|
|
this consists of a specification of the number of threads to |
| 70 |
|
|
use in X and Y under multithreaded execution. |
