| 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 |

| 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 |

| 135 | processed by <b>mrun</b> if errors arise during |
|---|
| [62] | 136 | the model run. The command described in the example (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">cat |
|---|
| [5] | 137 | RUN_CONTROL</font></tt>) is executed thereby only on the |
|---|
| [62] | 138 | condition that errors during the execution of the model (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">execution</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 139 | arise. An <b>mrun </b>internal environment variable which |

| 140 | indicates |
|---|
| [5] | 141 | the |
|---|
| [62] | 142 | 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] | 143 | In order to determine the actual value of this variable at the |
|---|
| [62] | 144 | execution of <b>mrun</b> the “<tt>$</tt>” |
|---|
| 145 | - prefix |
|---|
| 146 | must be protected by a “\” since the configuration |

| 149 | and the |

| [62] | 179 | <b>mrun</b> copies the input and output files in accordance |

|---|
| [97] | 184 | 6.3</a>, in German) and are described here only as far as |
|---|
| [5] | 185 | necessary. A |
|---|
| 186 | file connection statement usually consists of entries in 5 columns |
|---|
| 187 | whereby all columns are separated from each other by one or more blanks |
|---|
| 188 | (the blanks define the individual columns). In the |
|---|
| 189 | first column the local file name (e.g. <tt><font size="2">PARIN</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 190 | is given as it is addressed by the model. It must begin directly at |
|---|
| 191 | the start of the line. In the second column the so-called file |
|---|
| 192 | attributes |
|---|
| [62] | 193 | are given. These determine whether the file is an input file (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">in</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 194 | or an output file (<tt><font size="2">out</font></tt>), |
|---|
| 195 | whether output |
|---|
| 196 | files are to be transferred to the local computer of the user (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">tr</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 197 | or whether they are to be archived (<font size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace">fl</font></font>). |
|---|
| 198 | If a file has several attributes then they are separated by a <font color="#000000">colon |
|---|
| [5] | 199 | in each case .</font> </p> |

| [62] | 200 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">With the entries in the |
|---|
| 201 | third column one |
|---|
| [5] | 202 | specifies the conditions under which a file connection statement |
|---|
| 203 | becomes active i.e. under |
|---|
| 204 | which circumstances it is executed by <b>mrun</b>. Then <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| 205 | copies the appropriate in or output files only if at least one of the |

|---|
| 211 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">would lead to the fact that |
|---|
| 212 | the input |
|---|
| [5] | 213 | file with the local name PARIN is made available and the output files |
|---|
| 214 | RUN_CONTROL and HEADER are copied to permanent files. The output |
|---|
| 215 | files PLOT1D_PAR and PLOT1D_DATA are not copied so that their |
|---|
| 216 | contents are not available to the user after the end of the job. If |
|---|
| [62] | 217 | these files are to be copied of <b>mrun</b> then the call |

| 220 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Instead of the option -r you |
|---|
| 221 | can |
|---|
| [5] | 222 | separately address the file connection statements for input and/or |
|---|
| 223 | output files with the options -i and -o. If one likes to make sure with |

| 228 | <p style="line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000">The |
|---|
| 229 | names of the |
|---|
| [5] | 230 | local files assigned permanent files are build from the entries in |
|---|
| 231 | the 4th and 5th column of the file connection statements and the |
|---|
| [62] | 232 | value of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> |
|---|
| 233 | option </font><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"><font color="#000000">-d</font></font></tt><font color="#000000"> |

| [5] | 234 | in the following way:</font><font color="#800000"> </font> |

| [62] | 235 | </p><ul> <p style="line-height: 100%;">File |

| 236 | name (inclusive path) = “value of |
|---|
| 237 | the 4th column” + “value of the option <tt><font size="2">-d</font></tt>” |
|---|
| 238 | + “value of the 5th column”.</p> |
|---|
| 239 | </ul><p style="line-height: 100%;">The 4th column |
|---|
| 240 | contains the path name |
|---|
| 241 | whereby <tt><a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/mrun_beschreibung.html#fname">$fname</a></tt> |
|---|
| [5] | 242 | is replaced by the value indicated for the option <tt><font size="2">-d</font></tt>. |
|---|
| 243 | The 5th column contains the so-called file name extension. The name |
|---|
| [62] | 244 | of the permanent file which was copied by <b>mrun</b> to |
|---|
| 245 | the local |
|---|
| [5] | 246 | file <tt>PARIN</tt> thereby reads: </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 247 | <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> |
|---|
| 248 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">In the same way the names of |
|---|
| 249 | the |
|---|
| [5] | 250 | permanent files of the remaining <font color="#000000">file |
|---|
| 251 | connection statements </font>can be formed. </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 252 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">With this example |
|---|
| 253 | configuration file |
|---|
| [5] | 254 | exactly one input file is copied into the temporary working directory |
|---|
| [62] | 255 | of the model. This file has the local name <a href="chapter_3.4.html#PARIN">PARIN</a> |
|---|
| [5] | 256 | and contains the steering parameters for the model and has to be |
|---|
| 257 | provided by the user for each model run. </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 258 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The example configuration |
|---|
| 259 | file also |
|---|
| 260 | instructs <b>mrun</b> to copy four output files of the |
|---|
| 261 | model to |
|---|
| [5] | 262 | appropriate permanent files of the user at the end of the run. |
|---|
| [62] | 263 | There are timestep information (local file name <tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#RUN_CONTROL">RUN_CONTROL</a></tt>), |
|---|
| [5] | 264 | the so-called header file, in which the values of the most selected |
|---|
| 265 | parameters for this run (<tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#HEADER">HEADER</a></tt>) |
|---|
| 266 | are located, as well as a file with data of horizontally averaged |
|---|
| 267 | vertical profiles |
|---|
| 268 | (<tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_DATA">PLOT1D_DATA</a></tt>) |
|---|
| [62] | 269 | and an associated parameter file (<tt><a href="chapter_3.4.html#PLOT1D_PAR">PLOT1D_PAR</a></tt>), |
|---|
| 270 | which can be used as input files for the plot program <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/institut/software/profil_beschreibung.html">profil</a>. |
|---|
| [5] | 271 | A model run does not presuppose neither the file connection statements |
|---|
| 272 | for |
|---|
| 273 | output files nor their activation. But without declaring AND activating |
|---|
| 274 | them usually the data produced by the model |
|---|
| 275 | are lost after the end of the model run! </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 276 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">As already mentioned the |
|---|
| 277 | configuration |
|---|
| [5] | 278 | file offers a variety of further possibilities to steer the |
|---|
| 279 | execution of the model run. Some of them are described in the next |
|---|
| 280 | chapter. Same applies to possible other options of the <b>mrun</b> |
|---|
| [62] | 281 | call. For these please refer to the <a href="http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/%7Eraasch/Software/mrun_beschreibung.html">mrun</a> |
|---|
| 282 | documentation (in German). An <b>mrun </b>call for the |
|---|
| 283 | execution of a |
|---|
| [5] | 284 | model run |
|---|
| 285 | on several processors on the IBM Regatta "hanni" of the HLRN must be |
|---|
| 286 | supplemented by the following options in each case: </p> |
|---|
| [62] | 287 | <ul> <pre style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm; line-height: 100%;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">mrun - K parallel -X … -t … -m …</font></pre></ul> |
|---|
| 288 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Only the indication of <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">-K |
|---|
| 289 | parallel</font></tt> causes the parallel execution of the |
|---|
| 290 | run on |
|---|
| [5] | 291 | several processors (otherwise a scalar execution on one processor is |
|---|
| 292 | accomplished). In addition to this the number of the |
|---|
| 293 | processing elements which shall be used has to be pre-scribed with the |
|---|
| [62] | 294 | option <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">-X</font> |

| 297 | 4</font></tt><font size="2">).</font> |
|---|
| [5] | 298 | In each case the permitted CPU time in seconds and the required memory |

| 303 | variables in the configuration file: </p> |
