110      <br>
111NetCDF4 allows for parallel I/O. Also, variables are not limited in
112size any more (i.e. arrays can be larger than 2GB). The new
113d3par-parameter <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">netcdf_data_format</span>.can be used to select among the different NetCDF file formats (<span style="font-style: italic;">1</span>: classic format, <span style="font-style: italic;">2</span>: 64-bit-offset format (this is now the default), <span style="font-style: italic;">3</span>: NetCDF4/HDF5 format, <span style="font-style: italic;">4</span>: NetCDF4 format with NF90_CLASSIC_MODEL bit set). Setting <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">netcdf_data_format</span> &gt; <span style="font-style: italic;">2</span>
114only affects 2d- and 3d-output, i.e. there is no parallel output for
115profiles, time series, spectra, and particles. Parallel output of
116particle data may realized in the future.<br>
117      <br>
118In case of parallel output, all PEs write into one file, which means that postprocessing the data with <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">combine_plot_fields</span>
119(merging data from single files - one per PE - into one file) is not
120neccessary. In this case, flag files are automatically set, telling <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">combine_plot_fields</span> that nothing is to be done.<br>
121      <br>
122Using NetCDF4 format requires a NetCDF4/HDF library. Respective
123settings for -I, -L, and -l compiler/loader options for the SGI-ICE at
124HLRN can be found in the new example configuration file <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">..../trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.imuk_ice2_netcdf4</span><br>
125      <br>
126      <span style="font-weight: bold;">Attention:</span><br>
127So far, NetCDF parallel I/O has only been tested a little. Further
128performance optimizations may be required, especially in case of large
129data sets (e.g. data chunking, or lustre file system settings with <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">lfs setstripe</span>). <span style="font-weight: bold;">Please report bugs and performance problems immediately!</span><br>
130      <br>
131      <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">combine_plot_fields</span> outputs cpu-time needed for file merging.<br>
132      <br>
133Modules to be loaded for compilation (mbuild) or job execution (mrun) can/should now be given in the configuration file (<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">.mrun.config</span>) using variable <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">modules</span>. Example:<br>
134      <br>
135      <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">&nbsp;&nbsp; %modules&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ifort/11.0.069:netcdf&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; lcsgih parallel</span><br>
136      <br>
137This method replaces the (undocumented) <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">mpilib</span>-variable.<br>
138      <br>
139      <span style="font-weight: bold;">WARNING:</span><br>
140      <span style="font-weight: bold;">All fixed settings of modules in the scripts mbuild, mrun, and subjob have been removed! Please set the <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">modules</span> variable appropriately and remove the mpilib variable in your configuration file.<br>
141      <br>
142</span>Compilation time can be reduced be using parallel make. The
143number of allowed simultaneous compiler calls (threads) is set in the
144configuration file using variable <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">mopt</span>, e.g.<br>
145      <br>
146      <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">&nbsp;&nbsp; %mopts&nbsp; -j:4 &nbsp; lcsgih parallel</span><br>
147      <br>
148allows a maximum of 4 routines to be compiled simultaneously (provided
149that the makefile does not show any dependencies between these
150routines).<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>

354atmosphere-ocean coupling has been improved and steering of
355dvr-software is more user-friendly now. Beside that, the release
356contains a lot of optimizations, changes, and bugfixes which have
357accumulated over the last months.<br>

834files, which has no more restrictions in case that the previous and

1050the repository. Rules given below are preliminary, until we have switched to the "trac"-System.<br>
1051<br>
1052<ol>
1053  <li>Change source code in your current working copy. Document changes in the respective file headers unter "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">Current revisions:</span>".
1054Additionally, document all changes in a local file (e.g.

1056have been changed. Classify changes in three cases, new (N), changed

1064  <li>Commit the changes to the repository<br>
1065    <br>
1066    <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">&nbsp;&nbsp; svn commit -m "message string" trunk<br>

1068where "<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">message string</span>" is a short, <span style="font-weight: bold;">meaningful</span> summary of the changes.<br>
1069    <br>
1070Alternatively, in case that you have made quite a lot of changes, you
1071can also give the contents of your file CURRENT_MODIFICATIONS as the
1072log message:<br>
1073    <br>
1074    <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">&nbsp;&nbsp; svn commit -F CURRENT_MODIFICATIONS trunk</span><br>
1075    <br>
1076  </li>
1077
1078  <li>Enter the changes into the technical documentation (under <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">.../trunk/DOC/tec/technical_documentation.html</span>).<br>
1079    <br>
1080  </li>
1081  <li>Move the change comments in the file headers from "Current
1082revisions:" to "Former revisions:". Set the current svn id in front of
1083that.<br>
