Source Code

Program parts	What to do?	Name
mrun, subjob, mbuild	Translate German comments to English	<name>
mrun	restructure and simplify the parameter-file check	<name>
	develop new GUI for parameter file generation	<name>
	develop an installation script (using make install mechanism	<name>
PALM code	completion of single-GPU porting	<name>
PALM code	re-evaluation of the MPI-GPU-version	<name>
mrun, subjob	allow batch-job-directives (e.g. PBS) and execution commands (mpiexec, aprun, etc.) to be configured using entries in .mrun.config	<name>
mrun, subjob, mbuild	cleaning	<name>
PALM code	code clearing and restructuring following programmer guidelines of DWD/DMI	<name>
	- use KIND parameter for defining single/double pprecision instead of compiler options (e.g. -r8)
	- select from modules only those variables really required, using the ONLY attribute
	- describe variables in the declaration statements
	- extend the MODULE concept to other parts of the code (canopy model, etc.)
	- move initialization from init_3d_model to the respective modules	<name>
PALM code	output progress messages on terminal or to the job protocol (see Helges progress bars)	<name>
	finish implementation of FFT/ALLTOALL overlapping	<name>
	finish implementation of prognostic_equation/SENDRECV overlapping	<name>
<page>	Avoid collecting of 2D data on PE0 (topography data, surface coupling layer)	<name>
	Implement flux limiter for Wicker-Skamarok
<page>	Implement RRTM radiation model	<name>
<page>	Subgrid-scale saturation fluctuation for Lagrangian cloud model	<name>
	Implement new particle data structure in LPM
	Implement logarithmic interpolation of particle velocities near the surface
	Separate equation for passive scalar (multiple scalars?)

Code performance

	define setups for scaling / benchmark runs	<name>
	carry out runs to determine PALM's weak/strong scaling behaviour + parallel efficiency, this might be good to be carried out during the test phase of the HLRNIII-Hannover-complex	<name>
