  1. The CCSM2.0 Quick Start Guide Lawrence Buja CCSM Software Engineering Group ccsm@ucar.edu June 29 2002

  2. CCSM2.0 Quick Start Guide • What is needed to run CCSM2? • Downloading the CCSM2.0 distribution • The CCSM source code • Input datasets • Building the CCSM • Running the CCSM • CCSM output data

  3. What is needed to run CCSM2? • OS: IBM AIX or SGI IRIX64 • Compilers: Fortran 90, C • Tools: gunzip, gnumake, Perl5, Perl/Tk • Permanent & Temporary disk space • Libraries: MPI and netCDF • Input data : 0.2 GB for T31_gx3 grid, 0.8 GB for T42_gx1v3 grid • CCSM2 source code: 35 MB

  4. The CCSM2.0 distribution CCSM2.0 is available via the web from: http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/csm/models/ccsm2.0 ccsm2.0.tar.gz CCSM2.0 source codes ccsm2.0.inputdata.T42_gx1v3.tar input data for T42_gx1v3 resolution ccsm2.0.inputdata.T31_gx3.tar input data for T31_gx3 resolution ccsm2.0.inputdata.T62.tar latm data for T62 resolution ccsm2.0.inputdata.CLM_SPINUP_FILES.tar are CLM datasets gunzip -c ccsm2.0.tar.gz | tar -xf - tar -xf ccsm2.0.inputdata.T42_gx1v3.tar

  10. Building the CCSM Three levels of c-shell scripts are used: • Run script builds & runs CCSM (i.e. test.a1.run) • Define the CCSM environment • Run each component setup script • Execute all components simultaneously • Setup scripts builds each model (i.e. ice.setup.csh) • Position any input data needed by that component • Generate the component's namelist input file • Build the component executable • Utility tools (i.e. ccsm_getinput)

  11. Building the CCSM A sample run script (test.a1.run) is distributed. Functional summary of test.a1.run setenv A abc setenv B xyz foreach i (cpl atm ocn ice lnd) $i.setup.csh end mpirun cpl atm ocn ice lnd exit Define environment Loop over setup scripts Run CCSM

  12. Building the CCSM: $CASE $CASE identifies a CCSM run. The sample $CASE is test.a1, $CASE for the CCSM control run is b20.007 To define a new $CASE • Copy all of test.a1/ into $CASE/ • rename test.a1.run to $CASE.run • Modify the main run script • CASE CASESTR CSMROOT CSMDATA EXEROOT ARCROOT • $HOME/ccsm2.0/scripts/$CASE/$CASE.run submitted to the batch queue.

  13. Building the CCSM Initial data Scripts & Model Code $HOME/ccsm2.0/ $CSMROOT /fs/$LOGANME/inputdata/ $CSMDATA doc/ models/ scripts/ Large model build/execute directories /ptmp/$LOGNAME/$CASE $EXEROOT

  14. Methods for starting the CCSM New CCSM case is started as either a startup, hybrid or branch run, depending on the science requirements. startup: new run from arbitrary input files hybrid: new run from initial or restart files branch: new run from restart files continue: extend an existing run exactly

  15. General concepts: Exact Restarts • Wall-clock limits in the batch queues typically restrict runs to a finite length, usually 1-3 model years. • At specified intervals, restart and initial files will be created by all components • Runs are extended as "continue" runs. • A continued run must give exactly the same results as if the run had never stopped.

  16. Exact Restarts • Are your results reproducible? • Factors: • Any change in machine architecture • Any change in math libraries • Running on different number of processors • Changes you've made to the code • Additional variables added to model not • properly written to restart files

  17. Changing the code • Frozen Code • Keep the CCSM2.0 model code "frozen" • To introduce code changes: • copy specific model files to new directory • modify the new copies of model code • tell the model setup scripts to get the modified code from the new directory first, then get rest of unchanged model code from the "frozen" version • This method encapsulates modified code • Use same "frozen code" for different work

  18. Changing the code • Three levels of change: • 1. "Bit-for-bit" (no change to answers) • adding/subtracting output • 2. Machine-level(answers similar at the bit level) • Changes in operation order • Changes in math libraries • changes in compiler options/flags/versions • 3. Algorithm changes(answers change) • Different parameterization • Rerun control integration

  21. Output log files • The printed output from each CCSM component is saved in a "log file" A coordinated timestamp links filenames $LID is of the form YYMMDD-hhmmss, where YYMMDD are the Year, Month, Day and hhmmss are hour, minute and second that the run began (i.e. $EXEROOT/ocn/ocn.log.000626-082714) .

  22. History and restart output data • Default: netCDF monthly averaged history files for all components in netCDF format. • CCSM2.0 also writes out binary restart files from all components at regular intervals. • The total output volume of the model output can vary greatly depending upon the output frequencies and options selected.
