In your .bashrc
or .tcshrc
or other rc file add a line:
NCCS currently has two different OSs. So you'll need to use different modulefiles depending on which OS you are using.
module use -a /discover/swdev/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles-SLES12
module use -a /discover/swdev/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles-SLES15
module use -a /nobackup/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles
On the GMAO desktops, the SI Team modulefiles should automatically be
part of running module avail
but if not, they are in:
module use -a /ford1/share/gmao_SIteam/modulefiles
Also do this in any interactive window you have. This allows you to get module files needed to correctly checkout and build the model.
Now load the GEOSenv
module:
module load GEOSenv
which obtains the latest git
, CMake
, and mepo
modules.
On GitHub, there are three ways to clone the model: SSH, HTTPS, or GitHub CLI.
The first two are "git protocols" which determine how git
communicates with
GitHub: either through https or ssh. (The latter is a CLI that uses either ssh or
https protocol underneath.)
For developers of GEOS, the SSH git protocol is recommended as it can avoid some issues if two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled on GitHub.
To clone the GEOSgcm using the SSH url (starts with git@github.com
), you run:
git clone -b vX.Y.Z git@github.com:GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm.git
where vX.Y.Z
is a tag from a GEOSgcm release. Note if you don't use -b
, you will get the main
branch and that can change from day-to-day.
If this is your first time using GitHub with any SSH URL, you might get this error:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
If you do see this, you need to upload an ssh key to your GitHub account. This needs to be done on any machine that you want to use the SSH URL through.
To clone the model through HTTPS you run:
git clone -b vX.Y.Z https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm.git
where vX.Y.Z
is a tag from a GEOSgcm release. Note if you don't use -b
, you will get the main
branch and that can change from day-to-day.
Note that if you use the HTTPS URL and have 2FA set up on GitHub, you will need to use personal access tokens as a password.
You can also use the GitHub CLI with:
gh repo clone GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm -- -b vX.Y.Z
where vX.Y.Z
is a tag from a GEOSgcm release. Note if you don't use -b
, you will get the main
branch and that can change from day-to-day.
Note that when you first use gh
, it will ask what your preferred git protocol
is (https or ssh) to use "underneath". The caveats above will apply to whichever
you choose.
If all you wish is to build the model, you can run parallel_build.csh
from a head node. Doing so will checkout all the external repositories of the model and build it. When done, the resulting model build will be found in build/
and the installation will be found in install/
with setup scripts like gcm_setup
and fvsetup
in install/bin
.
In all the examples below, NCCS builds will act differently. Because NCCS currently has two different OSs, when you use
parallel_build.csh
you will see that the build
and install
directories will be appended with -SLES12
or -SLES15
depending
on where you submitted to. When NCCS moves to a single OS again, this will be removed.
Note that if you use the -builddir
and -installdir
options, you can override this behavior and no OS will be automatically
appended.
parallel_build.csh
provides a special flag for checking out the
development branches of GEOSgcm_GridComp, GEOSgcm_App, GMAO_Shared, and GEOS_Util. If you run:
parallel_build.csh -develop
then mepo
will run:
mepo develop GEOSgcm_GridComp GEOSgcm_App GMAO_Shared GEOS_Util
To obtain a debug version, you can run parallel_build.csh -debug
which will build with debugging flags. This will build in build-Debug/
and install into install-Debug/
.
Note that running with parallel_build.csh
will create and install a tarfile of the source code at build time. If you wish to avoid
this, run parallel_build.csh
with the -no-tar
option.
While parallel_build.csh
has many options, it does not cover all possible CMake options possible in GEOSgcm. If you wish to
pass additional CMake options to parallel_build.csh
, you can do so by using --
and then the CMake options. Note that anything
after the --
will be interpreted as a CMake option, which could lead to build issues if not careful.
For example, if you want to build a develop Debug build on Cascade Lake while turning on StratChem reduced mechanism and the CODATA 2018 options:
parallel_build.csh -develop -debug -cas -- -DSTRATCHEM_REDUCED_MECHANISM=ON -DUSE_CODATA_2018_CONSTANTS=ON
As noted above all the "regular" parallel_build.csh
options must be listed before the --
flag.
The steps detailed below are essentially those that parallel_build.csh
performs for you. Either method should yield identical builds.
The GEOS GCM is comprised of a set of sub-repositories. These are
managed by a tool called mepo. To
clone all the sub-repos, you can run mepo clone
inside the fixture:
cd GEOSgcm
mepo clone
The first command initializes the multi-repository and the second one
clones and assembles all the sub-repositories according to
components.yaml
To get development branches of GEOSgcm_GridComp, GEOSgcm_App, GMAO_Shared, and GEOS_Util (a la
the -develop
flag for parallel_build.csh
, one needs to run the
equivalent mepo
command. As mepo itself knows (via components.yaml
) what the development branch of each
subrepository is, the equivalent of -develop
for mepo
is to
checkout the development branches of GEOSgcm_GridComp, GEOSgcm_App, GMAO_Shared, and GEOS_Util:
mepo develop GEOSgcm_GridComp GEOSgcm_App GMAO_Shared GEOS_Util
This must be done after mepo clone
as it is running a git command in
each sub-repository.
On tcsh:
source @env/g5_modules
or on bash:
source @env/g5_modules.sh
We currently do not allow in-source builds of GEOSgcm. So we must make a directory:
mkdir build
The advantages of this is that you can build both a Debug and Release version with the same clone if desired.
CMake generates the Makefiles needed to build the model.
cd build
cmake .. -DBASEDIR=$BASEDIR/Linux -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install
This will install to a directory parallel to your build
directory. If you prefer to install elsewhere change the path in:
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>
and CMake will install there.
Note that running with parallel_build.csh
will create and install a tarfile of the source code at build time. But if CMake is run by hand, this is not the default action (as many who build with CMake by hand are developers and not often running experiments). In order to enable this at install time, add:
-DINSTALL_SOURCE_TARFILE=ON
to your CMake command.
make -jN install
where N
is the number of parallel processes. On discover head nodes, this should only be as high as 2 due to limits on the head nodes. On a compute node, you can set N
has high as you like, though 8-12 is about the limit of parallelism in our model's make system.
Once the model has built successfully, you will have an install/
directory in your checkout. To run gcm_setup
go to the install/bin/
directory and run it there:
cd install/bin
./gcm_setup
