3
4 ---------------------------------------------------------------
5 A) setup the experiments (incl. llc90 and cs32 core2.cnyf runs)
6 ---------------------------------------------------------------
7
8 0) get MITgcm as explained @ http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html
9 1) the following assumes that you are in directory MITgcm/verification/
10 i.e., after checkout of the model repository, do:
11 cd MITgcm/verification/
12 from here, get the MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh
13 c-shell setup script e.g. by typing
14 cvs co MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh
15 mv MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/setup_these_exps.csh .
16 Unless you already had something in MITgcm_contrib you may want
17 to remove that directory. Hereafter we wont need it anymore.
18 2) execute the setup script by typing
19 source ./setup_these_exps.csh
20 A pre-requisite is that you are logged in to the MITgcm
21 cvs server. If you completed step1, you indeed already are.
22 If otherwise, see http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html
23 3) step2 creates a directory global_oce_tmp_download that
24 contains the experiments directories. Move them (incl.
25 global_oce_input_fields) to MITgcm/verification. Once you
26 have done this succesfully you may want to remove the empty
27 global_oce_tmp_download directory. We wont need it anymore.
28 4) exectute MITgcm with testreport. Two examples from one machine.
29 To run the cs32 test on one cpu :
30 ./testreport -t global_oce_cs32
31 And to run the llc90 test on 24 cpus, using mpi
32 ./testreport -of=../tools/build_options/linux_amd64_gfortran -MPI 24 -command 'mpirun -np TR_NPROC ./mitgcmuv' -t 'global_oce_cs32 global_oce_llc90'
33 The optfile may be swaped for one that better suits your machine.
34 5) upon completion of the experiments, testreport should return something like
35 Y Y Y Y>16<16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 . . pass global_oce_cs32
36 Y Y Y Y> 7<16 16 12 12 16 16 13 11 13 12 10 11 13 13 11 11 . . FAIL global_oce_llc90
37 Y Y Y Y>10<16 13 12 12 13 16 14 11 13 13 11 11 13 13 11 11 . . pass global_oce_llc90.core2
38 Y Y Y Y> 4<13 11 9 9 12 16 11 9 10 12 10 10 11 10 8 10 . . FAIL global_oce_llc90.ecco_v4
39 Y Y Y Y> 7<10 11 12 11 12 11 13 10 10 12 11 11 12 11 11 10 . . FAIL global_oce_llc90.ecmwf
40 implying that the main experiment ran as expected in global_oce_llc90/run.
41
42 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
43 B) in case you want to change stuff on your end, or for troubleshooting
44 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
45
46 1) In linking the experiments to one another we rely on 'build/genmake_local' and
47 'input*/prepare_run' which may be worth a special mention, at least to new MITgcm users.
48
49 1.1) most importantly : if you remove these files, the exps wont run or even compile.
50 1.2) build/genmake_local specifies the use of xmakedepend (since the default
51 cant handle so many files) and in global_oce_cs32 it points to
52 "../../global_oce_llc90/code/" If you move global_oce_llc90 away from
53 global_oce_cs32 you will need to edit that path in genmake_local.
54 1.3) in analogy input*/prepare_run are a set of instructions that "testreport"
55 will execute before running MITgcm, to link all of the proper inputs.
56 And again the experiments form a self-consistent group, such that
57 e.g. global_oce_cs32 will get shared files from global_oce_llc90. If you move
58 the directories appart, you will need to edit the paths in input*/prepare_run
59 1.4) the logic we followed in linking exps to one another :
60 - forward subexperiments : get input.xxx/namelists then run input/prepare_run
61 - adjoint subexperiments : get input_ad.xxx/namelists then run corresponding forward
62 subexperiment input.xxx/prepare_run (that itself ultimately runs input/prepare_run)
63
64 2) In a couple .h files (that you find in the build directory after compiling)
65 small size parameters are used as a default (to save memory of course)
66 and they can become limiting in certain cases :
67 - you may want to integrate the model beyond a few time steps. You will need to
68 increase nchklev_1/_2/_3 in tamc.h (e.g. use the values in tamc.h_itXX) and recompile.
69 - you may want to use pkg/profiles (i.e. process insitu data via data.profiles).
70 You will need to increase NOBSGLOB in profiles.h (e.g. use profiles.h_itXX), and recompile.
71
72 3) To run the adjoint subexperiments you need the taf/tamc software/license.
