Run out of wall-time before the simulation is finished. How to continue the run?

[CaliFornia]

I submitted a simulation of 10 years with a wall time of 40hr. Unfortunately, wall time used up in the 7th year. I set my "resubmit"=0, but restart files are generated monthly. I didn't see a lot of information on how to solve this.

I probably need some detailed step-by-step guidance on this. Thank you!

For step by step guidance on basic operation of CESM, I recommend the CESM tutorial, which is held annually, and there are video recordings as well that you can watch anytime.

For the problem of running a 10 year simulation with 40 hour walltime that runs out at the 7th year. You should change the stop time from 10 to 6, so that it will finish before it runs out of time. The STOP_N is the XML variable that you change with ./xmlchange. The other way to change it would be to increase the walltime by 10/6 if that's possible on your machine).

If you are saving restarts monthly, and you set CONTINUE_RUN=TRUE, you can continue your simulation after the last restart files were finished. So you could run the last few years that way.

Hi Erik, Thank you for your help! This is the information that I needed! Previously I submitted the case again, but did not notice that CONTINUE_RUN was FALSE, so the simulation started over from the 1st year. Problem solved.
