| 14 | necessary for the execution of a simple model run (configuration |

| 15 | files can be much more complex). The example presented here is stored |

| [62] | 16 | in an appropriate <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/%7Eraasch/PALM_group/INSTALL/.mrun.config">example |
|---|
| 17 | file</a> (containing more than the configuration data presented |

|---|
| [5] | 28 | documentation (sorry: this is only available in German, so far. If you |

| [5] | 35 | HLRN when using several processing elements (i.e. for the parallel |

| 36 | version of the model). The proper installation of the model is |
|---|
| 37 | presumed (see <a href="chapter_5.0.html">chapter |

| [62] | 58 | </b>needs these information, <font color="#000000">because |
|---|
| 59 | for each |
|---|
| [336] | 60 | model run the executable is created by compiling the respective source file.</font> |
|---|
| [5] | 61 | Normally, only the main program (palm.f90) will be compiled while all |
|---|
| 62 | other object files are just linked. These object files have already |
|---|
| 63 | been created from the source code files during the installation of the |
|---|
| 64 | model |
|---|
| 65 | (see </font><a href="chapter_5.0.html"><font face="Thorndale, serif">chapter |
|---|
| [62] | 66 | 5.0</font></a><font face="Thorndale, serif">). |
|---|
| 67 | <b>mrun</b> uses |
|---|
| [5] | 68 | certain standard options for the compilation process. Beyond that you |
|---|
| 69 | can |
|---|
| [62] | 70 | declare additional options with the environment variable </font><tt><i><font face="Thorndale, serif">fopts</font></i></tt><font face="Thorndale, serif">. |
|---|
| [5] | 71 | Within the value assignment of an environment variable in the |

| 72 | configuration file no blanks must be |
|---|
| 73 | used. If blanks are necessary they must <font face="Thorndale, serif">be |
|---|
| [62] | 74 | replaced </font>by colons (“:”). <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| 75 | will |
|---|
| [5] | 76 | interpret these colons as blanks (2 colons written one behind the |
|---|
| [97] | 77 | other will be interpreted as a colon). Thus in the example above</font> fopts |
|---|
| [336] | 78 | has the value<tt><font face="Thorndale, serif"> </font></tt>“<tt>-g -w -xT -O3 -cpp -r8 -ftz -fno-alias -no-prec-div -no-prec-sqrt -ip -nbs -convert little_endian<i><font face="Thorndale, serif"><font color="#000000">”</font></font></i></tt><font face="Thorndale, serif"><font color="#000000">. |

| 112 | assignment for the |

| 114 | “<tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">EC:</font></tt>” |
|---|
| 115 | in the first column (comment lines begin with “<tt>#</tt>”). |
|---|
| 116 | Directly |
|---|
| [5] | 117 | after the colon Unix commands follow (korn shell syntax) which are |
|---|
| 118 | processed by <b>mrun</b> if errors arise during |
|---|
| [62] | 119 | the model run. The command described in the example (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">cat |
|---|
| [5] | 120 | RUN_CONTROL</font></tt>) is executed thereby only on the |
|---|
| [62] | 121 | condition that errors during the execution of the model (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">execution</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 122 | arise. An <b>mrun </b>internal environment variable which |
|---|
| 123 | indicates |
|---|
| [5] | 124 | the |
|---|
| [62] | 125 | respective abort place in case of errors is <tt><a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#locat">locat</a></tt>. |
|---|
| [5] | 126 | In order to determine the actual value of this variable at the |
|---|
| [62] | 127 | execution of <b>mrun</b> the “<tt>$</tt>” |
|---|
| 128 | - prefix |
|---|
| 129 | must be protected by a “\” since the configuration |
|---|
| 130 | file has been |
|---|
| 131 | already interpreted once when reading in through <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| 132 | and the |
|---|
| [5] | 133 | value from |
|---|
| [62] | 134 | <tt>locat</tt> would then supply the empty character |
|---|
| 135 | string. If |
|---|
| [5] | 136 | errors arise during the model run this command |
|---|
| 137 | copies the data written by the model up to then to the local file |
|---|
| 138 | <a href="chapter_3.4.html#RUN_CONTROL">RUN_CONTROL</a> |
|---|
| 139 | on the standard output where they can be checked after |

|---|
| 141 | file of the |

| 143 | file |
|---|
| 144 | (see below) after the end of the model run to a permanent file of the |

| 145 | user but this action would not be performed in case of errors |

| 147 | With |

| [5] | 148 | the help of the error command one can secure it nevertheless. </p> |

| 152 | model run. </p> |

| 161 | directory of the model with the respective permanent files of the user. |
|---|
| [62] | 162 | <b>mrun</b> copies the input and output files in accordance |
|---|
| 163 | with the |
|---|
| [5] | 164 | data in these connection statements. The file connection statements are |

| 165 | explained in detail in the <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| [62] | 166 | description (<a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#chapter6.3">chapter |
|---|
| [97] | 167 | 6.3</a>, in German) and are described here only as far as |
|---|
| [5] | 168 | necessary. A |
|---|
| 169 | file connection statement usually consists of entries in 5 columns |
|---|
| 170 | whereby all columns are separated from each other by one or more blanks |
|---|
| 171 | (the blanks define the individual columns). In the |
|---|
| 172 | first column the local file name (e.g. <tt><font size="2">PARIN</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 173 | is given as it is addressed by the model. It must begin directly at |
|---|
| 174 | the start of the line. In the second column the so-called file |
|---|
| 175 | attributes |
|---|
| [62] | 176 | are given. These determine whether the file is an input file (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">in</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 177 | or an output file (<tt><font size="2">out</font></tt>), |
|---|
| 178 | whether output |
|---|
| 179 | files are to be transferred to the local computer of the user (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">tr</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 180 | or whether they are to be archived (<font size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace">fl</font></font>). |
|---|
| 181 | If a file has several attributes then they are separated by a <font color="#000000">colon |
|---|
| [5] | 182 | in each case .</font> </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 183 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">With the entries in the |
|---|
| 184 | third column one |
|---|
| [5] | 185 | specifies the conditions under which a file connection statement |
|---|
| 186 | becomes active i.e. under |
|---|
| 187 | which circumstances it is executed by <b>mrun</b>. Then <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| 188 | copies the appropriate in or output files only if at least one of the |
|---|
| 189 | character strings registered in column 3 (again two or more character |
|---|
| 190 | strings have to be separated from each other by a colon) is |

| [62] | 191 | indicated within the mrun <b>call</b> by the option <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#Opt-r">-r</a>. |

|---|
| [62] | 194 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">would lead to the fact that |
|---|
| 195 | the input |
|---|
| [5] | 196 | file with the local name PARIN is made available and the output files |
|---|
| 197 | RUN_CONTROL and HEADER are copied to permanent files. The output |
|---|
| 198 | files PLOT1D_PAR and PLOT1D_DATA are not copied so that their |
|---|
| 199 | contents are not available to the user after the end of the job. If |
|---|
| [62] | 200 | these files are to be copied of <b>mrun</b> then the call |

| 204 | can |

| [5] | 205 | separately address the file connection statements for input and/or |

| 206 | output files with the options -i and -o. If one likes to make sure with |

| 226 | The 5th column contains the so-called file name extension. The name |
|---|
| [62] | 227 | of the permanent file which was copied by <b>mrun</b> to |
|---|
| 228 | the local |
|---|
| [5] | 229 | file <tt>PARIN</tt> thereby reads: </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 230 | <ul> <pre style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm; line-height: 100%;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">~/palm/current_version/JOBS/abcde/INPUT/abcde_p3d.</font></pre></ul> |
|---|
| 231 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">In the same way the names of |
|---|
| 232 | the |
|---|
| [5] | 233 | permanent files of the remaining <font color="#000000">file |
|---|
| 234 | connection statements </font>can be formed. </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 235 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">With this example |
|---|
| 236 | configuration file |
|---|
| [5] | 237 | exactly one input file is copied into the temporary working directory |
|---|
| [62] | 238 | of the model. This file has the local name <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PARIN">PARIN</a> |
|---|
| [5] | 239 | and contains the steering parameters for the model and has to be |
|---|
| 240 | provided by the user for each model run. </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 241 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The example configuration |
|---|
| 242 | file also |
|---|
| [336] | 243 | instructs <b>mrun</b> to copy three output files of the |
|---|
| [62] | 244 | model to |
|---|
| [5] | 245 | appropriate permanent files of the user at the end of the run. |
|---|
| [62] | 246 | There are timestep information (local file name <tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#RUN_CONTROL">RUN_CONTROL</a></tt>), |
|---|
| [5] | 247 | the so-called header file, in which the values of the most selected |
|---|
| 248 | parameters for this run (<tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#HEADER">HEADER</a></tt>) |
|---|
| 249 | are located, as well as a file with data of horizontally averaged |
|---|
| 250 | vertical profiles |
|---|
| [336] | 251 | (<tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#DATA_1D_PR_NETCDF">DATA_1D_PR_NETCDF</a></tt>). |
|---|
| [5] | 252 | A model run does not presuppose neither the file connection statements |
|---|
| 253 | for |
|---|
| 254 | output files nor their activation. But without declaring AND activating |
|---|
| 255 | them usually the data produced by the model |
|---|
| 256 | are lost after the end of the model run! </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 257 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">As already mentioned the |
|---|
| 258 | configuration |
|---|
| [5] | 259 | file offers a variety of further possibilities to steer the |
|---|
| 260 | execution of the model run. Some of them are described in the next |
|---|
| 261 | chapter. Same applies to possible other options of the <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| [62] | 262 | call. For these please refer to the <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/%7Eraasch/Software/mrun_beschreibung.html">mrun</a> |
|---|
| 263 | documentation (in German). An <b>mrun </b>call for the |
|---|
| 264 | execution of a |
|---|
| [5] | 265 | model run |
|---|
| [336] | 266 | on several processors on the SGI ICE of the HLRN must be |
|---|
| [5] | 267 | supplemented by the following options in each case: </p> |
|---|
| [336] | 268 | <ul style="font-family: monospace;"> <pre style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm; line-height: 100%;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">mrun - K parallel -X ... -T ... -t ... -m ---</font></pre></ul> |
|---|
| [62] | 269 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Only the indication of <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">-K |
|---|
| 270 | parallel</font></tt> causes the parallel execution of the |
|---|
| 271 | run on |
|---|
| [5] | 272 | several processors (otherwise a scalar execution on one processor is |
|---|
| 273 | accomplished). In addition to this the number of the |
|---|
| 274 | processing elements which shall be used has to be pre-scribed with the |
|---|
| [62] | 275 | option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X</font> |
|---|
| 276 | </tt><font size="2">(</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">e.g. |
|---|
| [336] | 277 | </font><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X 32</font></tt><font size="2">) and the number of tasks (processors) on onde node have to be given by option -T.</font> |
|---|
| [5] | 278 | In each case the permitted CPU time in seconds and the required memory |
|---|
| [62] | 279 | size in MB must be indicated by the options <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">-t</font></tt> |
|---|
| [5] | 280 | and <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">-m</font></tt>, |
|---|
| 281 | respectively<font face="Thorndale, serif">.</font> |
|---|
| [336] | 282 | Alternatively, memory and cpu-time demands can be set by the appropriate environment |
|---|
| [5] | 283 | variables in the configuration file: </p> |
|---|
| [336] | 284 | <blockquote style="line-height: 100%;"><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace">%memory <i>1500</i> lcsgih parallel</font></font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace"><br> </font></font><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace">%cputime <i>1000</i> lcsgih parallel</font></font></tt></blockquote> |
