Changed:


PALM can be generally installed on any kind of Linux-, IBM-AIX-, or NEC-SX-system by adding appropriate settings to the configuration file.

Scripts are also running under the public domain ksh.

All system relevant compile and link options as well as the host identifier (local_host) are specified in the configuration file.

Filetransfer by ftp removed (options -f removed from mrun and mbuild).

Call of (system-)FLUSH routine moved to new routine local_flush.

return_addres and return_username are read from ENVPAR-NAMELIST-file instead of using local_getenv.

Preprocessor strings for different linux clusters changed to "lc", some preprocessor directives renamed (new: intel_openmp_bug), preprocessor directives for old systems removed

advec_particles, check_open, cpu_log, cpu_statistics, data_output_dvrp, flow_statistics, header, init_dvrp, init_particles, init_1d_model, init_dvrp, init_pegrid, local_getenv, local_system, local_tremain, local_tremain_ini, modules, palm, parin, run_control

new:
local_flush

mbuild, mrun

9<p style="line-height: 100%;">You can use <b>mrun</b>
10for running PALM
11in batch mode as well as for running it interactively. For interactive
12runs, you must (naturally) be logged in on the respective computer. For
13this computer the subroutines of the model must have
14been precompiled (see <a href="chapter_5.0.html">chapter
155.0</a>). Files containing user-defined code must be stored in
16the directory given by the variable<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
17%add_source_path </span>in the mrun-configuration file<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
18.mrun.config</span>.<span style="font-family: monospace;"></span>
19All output-files possibly
20created by the model and requested by the user to be kept after the run
21are copied to
22directories on the local host corresponding to the specifications
23in the configuration file (in this case the file attribute<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"> tr&nbsp;</span>does not cause transfer to another computer). </p>
24<p style="line-height: 100%;">Since model runs usually
25require large
26amounts of CPU time, interactive runs may not be feasible, since
27in interactive mode CPU time
28is strongly limited on many hosts and runs will be aborted
29after the time limit has been exceeded. However, an interactive run
30makes sense if a suitable debugger is available,
31which may be used for error tracing in the model (here, error tracing
32in
33the user-defined software is meant). The preparations neccessary for
34debugging are described in the following. This
35description is limited to the IBM Regatta "hanni" and "berni" of the
36HLRN. </p>
37<p style="line-height: 100%;">If certain routines of the
38model
39are to be debugged for errors, the complete source code of
40the model, including the user-defined code, must be compiled
41with special debug compiler options. For this purpose, at least the
42following three lines must be included in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun </span>configuration
