Porting a compset to Derecho

[colepersch]

Hello,

I am working on running a specific compset and resolution on Derecho. I know that this specific version is possible because I have run it many times on Cheyenne.

Previously, I had setup to run CESM2.1.1 with compset B1850C4L45BGCRBPRP (1850_CAM40_CLM45%BGC_CICE_POP2%ECO_RTM_SGLC_SWAV_BGC%BPRP) and resolution T31_g37.

I am hoping to add to my suite of runs created on Cheyenne and the above setup with my core hours on Derecho. I have CESM2.1.4 ready on Derecho, but am having difficulty building this case. Is this a problem on my end, or is that compset/resolution currently not supported with CESM2.1.4 on Derecho? If the latter, are there plans to add it?

Here is the specific error message I receive when trying to run case.build

sharedlib_only is False
model_only is False

Hi Cole,
Well, good news, we are currently working on porting CESM 2.1 to Derecho. There will be a 2.1.5 release in the not-too-distant future (a couple of weeks?) with good support for Derecho. This error is kind of weird looking, though, so I'm going to put your post over in the CAM sub and see if there's any specific instructions for this. But, I think your best bet will be to wait for the updated release.
Thanks!

Hi Cole,

Kate is correct. I will update this post when the tag that has derecho support is available.

As for your error, it's complaining because you don't have ncdata (the initial data file) set (via namelist). My guess is that it's not grabbing the defaults for the case on derecho successfully. If you want to, you can set ncdata manually via user_nl_cam (and set it to whatever path your runs on cheyenne defaulted to). That said, it's likely that will only get you a bit farther before an error occurs so I would recommend waiting for the release tag.

Hi Cole,

The CESM tag with derecho support has been made - release-cesm2.1.5.

 

[colepersch]

Thank you for both of your help!

Hi Everyone,
Could you please suggest more regarding the following information from UCAR help
I am using CAM 6.3 of CESM2
Hello DK,

You are trying to submit a job to the 'regular' queue, but there is no 'regular' queue on Derecho. It's likely that you are using a version of CESM that is not ported to Derecho. I would recommend running a version of the model that has been ported to Derecho, as porting it yourself can be difficult. You should consult CESM support at the CESM Bulletin Board for details, but I believe they have several ported versions available.

This CESM tag should get you the derecho updates for the latest version of CESM: cesm2_3_alpha17a

 

[dharmendraks841]

Is there any time, I should wait, When would I be getting the CESM tag derecho updates for the latest version of CESM: cesm2_3_alpha17a
