The naming convention is "$MACHINE_$INFO" where $MACHINE gives some |
MITgcm-support <MITgcm-support@mitgcm.org> |
|
indication of where the script is supposed to run and $INFO gives some |
|
|
idea of its purpose. |
|
13 |
|
|
14 |
|
The convention is to name the directories here after the machine (or |
15 |
|
"system" or site) where the scripts are known (or were known at one |
16 |
|
time) to run. Directories are used since each system may use multiple |
17 |
|
different testing scripts. |

===== Why does it work this way? ===== |
21 |
|
|
22 |
|
We're sorry that testreport does not work 100% automatically on all |
23 |
|
MPI systems. The problem is that the $MPIRUN or equivalent command is |
24 |
|
different on almost every system. Even on a single system, there may |
25 |
|
be a variety of different $MPIRUN executables and each one might take |
26 |
|
slightly different arguments, etc. And these $MPIRUN issues are |
27 |
|
further complicated by their (often *forced*) interactions with |
28 |
|
whatever queueing system is in effect. Many systems (eg. UCAR/NCAR) |
29 |
|
will not allow a user to run any MPI programs--even small |
30 |
|
ones--outside of their queueing system. So the MPI programs *MUST* be |
31 |
|
submitted through the queue. |
32 |
|
|
33 |
|
And this means that you have to get all of the queue system details |
34 |
|
right including (but not limited to!): |
35 |
|
|
36 |
|
- $QRUN syntax (PBS vs LoadLeveler vs Condor vs ...) |
37 |
|
- paths to /scratch disks for input and output |
38 |
|
- shells and shell parameters |
39 |
|
- "module" conventions (PATHs) |
40 |
|
- etc-etc-etc... |
41 |
|
|
42 |
|
Unfortunately, these details can vary wildly from one system to the |
43 |
|
next and often require per-user customizations. |
