We take the first step of downloading, compiling and testing NEMO4 code on ARCHER2.

Pre-requisites:

Installing NEMO

Get NEMO4, in my case I’m using a fork of Pierre’s custom build.

This uses the latest stable version as it’s base, namely: NEMO4.0.4.

svn co -r 13653  https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/svn/NEMO/releases/r4.0/r4.0.4 NEMO4
#optional
#copy code from Pierre into NEMO folder, something like:
#git clone git@github.com:chrisb13/NEMOCFG.git
#cd NEMOCFG
#git reset --hard 7695557b1a2f67bae2ae0ab1989d878a281c1bab
#rm -r /path/to/NEMO4/src
#cp -r /path/from/NEMOCFG/cfgs/eORCA025.L121-OPM006/src /path/to/NEMO4

Build NEMO

Log-into ARCHER2. Based on NEMO4 ARCHER2 help page. Set-up your environment with:

module -s restore /work/n01/shared/acc/n01_modules/ucx_env

From: /work/n01/shared/acc/arch-X86_ARCHER2-Cray.fcm put into your ARCH folder, i.e., /lus/cls01095/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4/arch/arch-X86_ARCHER2-Cray.fcm

%NCDF_HOME           $NETCDF_DIR

Add -J flag to FC_MODSEARCH in /lus/cls01095/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4/ext/FCM/lib/Fcm/Config.pm, should look like

FC_MODSEARCH => '-J',                # FC flag, specify "module" path

Add key_nosignedzero to /lus/cls01095/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4/tests/ISOMIPY/cpp_ISOMIPY.fcm, should have:

chbull@uan01:/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4/tests/ISOMIPY> cat cpp_ISOMIPY.fcm 
 bld::tool::fppkeys   key_iomput key_mpp_mpi key_nosignedzero

Test compile works, i.e.,

cd /lus/cls01095/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4
./makenemo -n 'ISOMIPY' -a 'ISOMIP' -m X86_ARCHER2-Cray -j 16
ls -lah tests/ISOMIPY/BLD/bin/nemo.exe
# beer time ?

Run NEMO

We use Andrew’s script to create a template for a run file.

chbull@uan01:/work/n01/shared/acc> ./mkslurm -S 0 -s 0 -C 24
Running: mkslurm -S 0 -s 0 -m  2 -C  24 -c  2 -t 00:10:00 -a n01 -j nemo_test
.
.

With a few trivial changes (saving to something like /lus/cls01095/work/n02/n02/chbull/nemo/models/NEMO4/tests/ISOMIPY/EXP00/runnemo.sh; which will make sense in a moment)..

Build NEMO tools

Compile REBUILD_NEMO (used to recombine outputs at the end of the jobs – see NEMO4/tools/REBUILD_NEMO/README.rst) and DOMAINcfg.

cd NEMO4/tools/
./maketools -h 
./maketools -n REBUILD_NEMO -m X86_ARCHER2-Cray
./maketools -n DOMAINcfg -m X86_ARCHER2-Cray
# to check that everything went fine
ls -lah REBUILD_NEMO/BLD/bin/rebuild_nemo.exe
ls -lah DOMAINcfg/BLD/bin/make_domain_cfg.exe
