Also, variables are not limited in 94 size any more (i.e. arrays can be larger than 2GB). The new 95 d3par-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> > <span style="font-style: italic;">2</span> 96 only affects 2d- and 3d-output, i.e. there is no parallel output for 97 profiles, time series, spectra, and particles. Parallel output of 98 particle data may realized in the future.<br> 99 <br> 100 In 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> 101 (merging data from single files - one per PE - into one file) is not 102 neccessary. 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> 103 <br> 104 Using NetCDF4 format requires a NetCDF4/HDF library. Respective 105 settings for -I, -L, and -l compiler/loader options for the SGI-ICE at 106 HLRN 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> 107 <br> 108 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Attention:</span><br> 109 So far, NetCDF parallel I/O has only been tested a little. Further 110 performance optimizations may be required, especially in case of large 111 data 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> 112 <br> 113 <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">combine_plot_fields</span> outputs cpu-time needed for file merging.<br> 114 <br> 115 Modules 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>.
