-Downloading Release 1.0-b1 of MITgcmUV with CVS

- -

Environment

- -

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:cvsanon@mitgcm.org:/u/u0/gcmpack
-cvs login ( CVS password: cvsanon )

-You only need to do "cvs login" once but the environment should be set -in you .cshrc or .tcshrc.

-To obtain the release (with CVS information)

- -

cvs co -d MITgcm-r1b1 -r release1_beta1 -P MITgcm

-This creates a directory called MITgcm-r10b1 in which you'll find -the source code. -

For later on, CVS will allow you to upgrade your copy of the code as -patches are released. For more information on how to use CVS try this -starting -page. -
+Hardware/software requirements +This page summarises computer system requirements for using MITgcm in a + +range of scenarios that spans simulations on a desktop PC to simulations +run on a high-end supercomputer. The side bar on the left contains +links to sites from which third party software and hardware, which you +may require, can be obtained. The text below and the +online document explain +in what situations you will need these items. In many cases the software +you need will already be installed on your computer system and you can +go straight ahead and start using the model. +

MITgcm +

+runs on a wide range of computer systems.
+includes special software (called WRAPPER) +to support efficient execution and relatively easy portablity.

+Platforms where MITgcm is run regularly include +

+PC's ( both Intel and AMD processor based) running Linux.
+Unix workstations from Sun, SGI, HP, IBM, Compaq.
+Unix based PC and workstation clusters.
+high-end symetric multi-processor systems.

+ +

Under the WRAPPER, code also runs very efficiently on high-end vector +processing systems, if you have one. +The minimum you require to run the model is +

+a computer runing a Unix style operating system.
+a Fortran 77, Fortran 90 or Fortran 95 compiler.
+a C compiler.

+To run parallel configurations you also need either +

+a system that supports multi-threaded programs.
+a system with an implementation of the MPI library installed.

+ +

Specialized communication software to optimizes performance on a specific +platform can also be introduced into the WRAPPER. + +

Once you have your computer set up +

go here to download the model. The full distribution (including +examples with input datasets and sample output) is around 50MB. Instructions +on estimating the computing resource requirements (CPU time, memory usage +and disk space) for a set of numerical experiments can be found here.
