Porting to Alps at CSCS

[jbuzan@purdue_edu]

Hello NCAR Computer Engineering Staff:

I am inquiring about installing CESM on the new machine at CSCS, Alps. The architecture is quite different than the current machine I use, Piz Daint. Perhaps someone at NCAR has experience with this type of configuration?

Cheers,
-Jonathan

This description appears to be similar to the new NCAR system derecho. You might consider using that as a
template when porting to your new system. 6. Porting and validating CIME on a new platform — CIME master documentation
