In this chapter we describe the software architecture and |
This chapter focuses on describing the {\bf WRAPPER} environment within which |
4 |
implementation strategy for the MITgcm code. The first part of this |
both the core numerics and the pluggable packages operate. The description |
5 |
chapter discusses the MITgcm architecture at an abstract level. In the second |
presented here is intended to be a detailed exposition and contains significant |
6 |
part of the chapter we described practical details of the MITgcm implementation |
background material, as well as advanced details on working with the WRAPPER. |
7 |
and of current tools and operating system features that are employed. |
The tutorial sections of this manual (see Chapters |
8 |
|
\ref{chap:tutorialI}, \ref{chap:tutorialII} and \ref{chap:tutorialIII}) |
9 |
|
contain more succinct, step-by-step instructions on running basic numerical |
10 |
|
experiments, of varous types, both sequentially and in parallel. For many |
11 |
|
projects simply starting from an example code and adapting it to suit a |
12 |
|
particular situation |
13 |
|
will be all that is required. |
