-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
-
-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.

+The minimum you require to run the model is
+
+To run parallel configurations you need

and either of

Instructions on running multi-process codes can be found

+
Instructions regarding muti-threaded execution can be found
+here.
+
Specialized communication software, to optimize performance on a specific
+platform, can also be introduced into the WRAPPER. This process is discussed
+here.
+
Before running a parallel code we recommend you try one of the basic
+examples described on the
+getting started
+page.
+To perform derivative calculations you need

+
+
Once you have your computer set up

go here
+to find out how 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.
+Simulation output is usually examined
+using one of several standard
+analysis tools, depending on individual preference and experience.
