9	Installation of the

11	<font color="#000000">This chapter
12	describes the installation of PALM on a Linux workstation (local host)
13	and a suitable remote computer, on which the
14	model runs are to be carried out. The local host is used to
15	start batch jobs with <b>mrun</b> and to analyze the
16	results
17	which are produced by the model on the remote host and send back to the
18	local host. Alternatively, <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span>
19	can also be used to start PALM on the local host in interactive mode or
20	as a batch job (if a queueing system like NQS, PBS, or LoadLeveler is available).</font><p style="line-height: 100%;"></p><p style="line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Requirements</span></font></p><p style="line-height: 100%;"><font color="#000000">The

51	examples given in this chapter refer to an
52	installation of PALM on an IMUK Linux workstation and the IBM-Regatta

56	</p><p style="line-height: 100%;">The installation

58	account on the local and on the remote host as well.<br>
59	</p>
60	<ul> All hosts (local as well as remote) are
61	accessed via the secure shell (ssh). The user must establish
62	passwordless login using the private/public-key mechanism (see e.g. the
63	<a href="http://www.hlrn.de/doc/ssh/index.html">HLRN
64	documentation</a>). <b>To ensure proper function of mrun,
65	passwordless login must be
66	established in both directions, from the local to the remote host as
67	well as from the remote to the local host!</b> Test this by
68	carrying
69	out e.g. on the local host: <p style="line-height: 100%;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">
70	</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">ssh
71	<username on remote host>@<remote

74	</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">ssh
75	<username on local host>@<local IP-adddress></span><br>
76	</p> In both cases you should not be
77	prompted for a password. <b>Before continuing the further

84	Installation</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%;">In
85	the <b>first installation step</b> a
86	set of directories must be created both on the local and on the

88	are
89	freely selectable (except <tt><font size="2">~/job_queue</font></tt>),
90	however new users should use them as suggested, since many
91	examples in this documentation as well as all example files are
92	assuming these settings. The directory <span style="font-family: monospace;">~/palm/current_version</span>
93	on the local host will be called the working directory from now on. </p>

255	from version 3.2a, beside the default hosts (HLRN, etc.), PALM can also
256	be installed and run on other Linux-Cluster-, IBM-AIX, or
257	NEC-SX-systems. To configure PALM for a non-default host only requires
258	to add some lines to the configuration file<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"> .mrun.config</span>.<br><br>First,
259	you have to define the host identifier (a string of arbitrary length)
260	under which your local host shall be identified by adding a line<br><br></font><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">%host_identifier  <hostname>  <host identifier></span><br></div><br>to the configuration file (best to do this in the section where the other default host identifiers are defined). Here<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"> <hostname> </span>must be the name of your local host as provided by the unix-command "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">hostname</span>". The first characters of<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"> <host identifier> </span>have to be "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">lc</span>", if your system is (part of) a linux-cluster, "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">ibm</span>", or "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">nec</span>"
261	in case of an IBM-AIX- or NEC-SX-system, respectively. For example, if
262	you want to install on a linux-cluster, the line may read as<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">%host_identifier  foo  lc_bar<br></div><br>In
263	the second step, you have to give all informations neccessary to
264	compile and run PALM on your local host by adding an additional section
265	to the configuration file:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">%remote_username   <1>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%tmp_user_catalog  <2>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%compiler_name     <3>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%compiler_name_ser <4>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%cpp_options
266	<5>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%netcdf_inc        <6>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%netcdf_lib        <7>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%fopts
267	<8>      <host identifier> parallel<br>%lopts
268	<9>      <host identifier> parallel<br></div><br>The
269	section consists of four columns each separated by one or more blanks.
270	The first column gives the name of the respective environment variable
271	used by <span style="font-weight: bold;">mrun</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">mbuild</span>,
272	while the second column defines its value. The third column has to be
273	the host identifier as defined above, and the last column in each line
274	must contain the string "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">parallel</span>".
275	Otherwise, the respective line(s) will be interpreted as belonging to
276	the setup for compiling and running a serial (non-parallel) version of
277	PALM.<br><br>All brackets have to be replaced by the appropriate settings for your local host:<br><ul><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><1> </span>is the username on your LOCAL host</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><2> </span>is the temporary directory in which PALM runs will be carried out</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><3> </span>is the compiler name which generates parallel code</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><4> </span>is the compiler name for generating serial code</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><5> </span>are
278	the preprocessor options to be invoked. In most of the cases, it will
279	be neccessary to adjust the MPI data types to double precision by
280	giving <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">-DMPI_REAL=MPI_DOUBLE_PRECISION -DMPI_2REAL=MPI_2DOUBLE_PRECISION</span>. To switch on the NetCDF support, you also have to give <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">-D__netcdf</span> and <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">-D__netcdf_64bit</span> (if you like to have 64bit NetCDF output).</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><6> </span>is the compiler option for specifying the include path to search for the NetCDF module/include files</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><7> </span>are the linker options to search for the NetCDF library</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><8> </span>are the general compiler options to be used. You should allways switch on double precision (e.g. <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">-r8</span>) and code optimization (e.g. <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">-O2</span>).</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><9> </span>are the linker options</li><li><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><host identifier> </span>is the host identifier as defined before</li></ul><br>A typical example may be:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">%remote_username
