'''[https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/d/f/3/2/5 u-df325]'''
'''[https://puma.nerc.ac.uk/trac/roses_puma/browser/a/a/2/3/7/trunk puma-aa237]:''' This is an UKCA StratTrop/CheST Chemistry +GLOMAP suite at N96L85 resolution. The suite is derived from the UM Global Atmosphere development suite [https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/GA/wiki/ticket/136/mi-ah615 mi-ah615], but using the ''StraTrop or CheST'' scheme instead of ''Offline oxidants''.

'''[https://puma.nerc.ac.uk/trac/roses_puma/browser/a/a/2/6/2/trunk puma-aa262]:''' This is a test suite based on the UKCA configurations in the UM trunk and can simultaneously run the following configurations at N96L85:<br/>
 
* StratTrop(CheST)+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate
 
* Offline oxidants+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with two PE configurations
 
   
  +
Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): [[Using_the_UM13_test_suites]]
Both the configurations carry out a 2-day simulation that requires between 10 - 15 minutes to complete on the Cray. The CheST Configuration uses 16x8 PEs, while the Offline configuration uses 16x8 and 8x12 PEs.
 
   
==== Using the Suite ====
+
===== UM13.3 (Test Suite) =====
  +
'''[https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/c/y/0/7/9 u-cy079]'''
The following steps use the UM10.3 suite as an example. All Rose suites on MONsooN need to be executed from the special Rose server as described in the [http://collab.metoffice.gov.uk/twiki/bin/view/Support/MONSooNRose instructions] and '''not on the puma''' system.<br/>
 
   
  +
Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): [[Using_the_UM13_test_suites]]
# Create a suitable folder for the suite. (default name ~/roses)
 
# cd to the folder and create a copy of the Suite
 
#: ~/roses $ ''rosie copy puma-aa262''
 
#:This will create a copy of the suite as ''puma-aaNNN'' and check it out to the ~/roses folder.
 
# To ensure that the base settings work for you:
 
#::$ ''cd ~/roses/puma-aaNNN''
 
#::puma-aaNNN $ ''rose suite-run''
 
#:This will preprocess the configuration and launch the tasks in the background along with opening the gcylc window that displays the status of each task.
 
#:Once all the tasks complete (Status = stopped with 'succeeded' or check output in Rose-bush), the Suite can now be modified to test your changes.
 
# Execution options<br/>
 
#:The suite can be executed as a combination of the following configurations, by setting values of the related variables in puma-aaNNN/rose-suite.conf:
 
#::Compilation (Build) On/Off: ''BUILD=true/false''
 
#::StratTrop Chemistry scheme: ''STRATTROP=true/false''
 
#::Offline Oxidants Chemistry scheme: ''OFFLINE=true/false''
 
#::PE Test for the Offline scheme: ''TEST_PE=true/false''
 
#:
 
#:Setting both Offline & StratTrop options to false will convert the suite to a compile-only job.
 
#:
 
#::Additional Options
 
#:
 
#:::Change the length of the run(s): modify ''TASKEND='0,Months,Days,Hours,Minutes,0' ''
 
#::::Note: Meaning is Off, so the apps can be run only upto one month
 
#:::Change the frequency of restart dumps: set ''DUMPFREQ=number-of-days''
 
# Testing an UM10.3 branch
 
#:If you are only making changes to the code and not modifying any namelists, the suite only needs to be pointed to the new branch:
 
#::puma-aaNNN $ Edit ''app/fcm_make/rose-app.conf'' and add your branch at the line
 
#:::''um_sources=branches/your-branch or um_sources=working-copy (full path)''
 
#:Note that since suites use the mirror of the Ex-UM respository, it takes 5-10 minutes for any recently committed changes to be available to the suite.
 
#:
 
#:Now rerun the suite:
 
#:::puma-aaNNN $ ''rose suite-run --new''
 
#:The ''--new'' option forces the removal (and fresh creation) of the extracted source, build and working folders thus ensuring that all modifications to the source code made in your branch are included.
 
#:
 
#:If the code changes are expected to change results for this configuration, failure of the comparison (rose ana) tasks can be ignored. However, if no change is expected yet the comparison fails, this indicates a ''bug'' somewhere in the implementation which needs to be traced, corrected and re-tested.
 
# Namelist changes
 
#:If there are any modifications to the namelists e.g. addition or deletion of items, moving items between namelists, these need to be applied in
 
#::''puma-aaNNN/app/um/rose-app.conf'' as well as ''puma-aaNNN/app/um_offl/rose-app.conf''.
 
#::For adding the accompanying metadata changes:
 
#:
 
#:::checkout your branch to an universal location $HOME or $DATADIR
 
#:::Modify the meta-data file : ''your-working-copy/rose-meta/um-atmos/HEAD/rose-meta.conf'' to reflect the namelist changes
 
#:::Edit both ''puma-aaNNN/app/um/rose-app.conf'' and ''puma-aaNNN/app/um_offl/rose-app.conf'' and replace the line
 
#:::''meta=um-atmos/vn10.3'' with ''meta=your working copy/rose-meta/um-atmos/HEAD''
 
#:
 
#:Open the apps with ''rose edit'' to ensure the namelist changes are consistent with the metadata.
 
#:Now rerun the suite to make sure the Rose namelist changes are consistent with the Fortran namelist changes.

===== UM13.2 (Test Suite) =====
'''Warning:''' If any of the tasks in the workflow fails, the corresponding ''housekeeping'' task will not be carried out and all the data generated will remain in ''$DATADIR/cylc-run/puma-aaNNN'' on the HPC. This may have to be cleaned manually after testing through the command:

'''[https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/b/w/0/1/4 u-bw014]'''
  +
  +
This version runs the same configurations and is technically identical to the UM11.6 suite below.
  +
Monsoon users will need to select ''SITE = Monsoon'' in the Rose GUI.
  +
  +
All other instructions (for ''adding branches, namelist items, STASHmaster, etc'') remain the same as for the UM11.6 suite.

  +
===== UM11.6 (Test Suite) =====
  +
'''[https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/roses-u/browser/b/s/0/2/6 u-bs026]'''
  +
  +
This version reflects the science updates to the UKCA app in the UM Rose-stem. It still runs the following configurations at N96L85:<br/>
  +
* StratTrop(CheST)+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with ''Restartability'' (NRUN vs NRUN+CRUN), ''OpenMP'' (1 vs 2 threads) and ''Rigorous build'' tests
  +
* StratTrop(CheST)-Columnar+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test
  +
* Offline oxidants+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test
  +
  +
''Changes:''
  +
- HOUSEKEEPing is now a user-controlled step i.e. set HOUSEKEEP=False if you want to keep the model outputs ''even if all tests pass'' e.g. to look at diagnostics, print statements, timings, etc
  +
- The ''atmos_strat_rigorous'' task now runs much faster (few minutes rather than > 1 hour) as the writing of restart dump is replaced with a 3-hourly mean output file for comparison
  +
  +
As in previous version a '''trac.log''' file is now generated that contains basic information on the suite-run and status of each of the tasks.

UM12.0 (Test Suite)

u-cg120

Changes from vn11.9 version::
- It is now possible to specify the Monsoon project/ account name for HPC tasks. The default account used is that which appears as the (alphabetically) first project in the list from the `id $USER` command.
- CRI-Strat tests are now On by default since any code changes impacting this configuration need to be identified early.

UM11.9 (Test Suite)

u-cc839

Changes from vn11.8 version: None

Note: Monsoon use : There are usually some initial delays in required UM files being transferred across to Monsoon, so some operations may fail till this is complete.

UM11.8 (Test Suite)

u-bz714

Changes from vn11.7 version:

  • Added a CRI-Strat+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate configuration with Restartability (NRUN vs NRUN+CRUN), OpenMP (1 vs 2 threads), Rigorous build and CRI-Strat-Columnar with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) tests

UM11.7 (Test Suite)

u-bw014

This version runs the same configurations and is technically identical to the UM11.6 suite below. Monsoon users will need to select SITE = Monsoon in the Rose GUI.

All other instructions (for adding branches, namelist items, STASHmaster, etc) remain the same as for the UM11.6 suite.

UM11.6 (Test Suite)

u-bs026

This version reflects the science updates to the UKCA app in the UM Rose-stem. It still runs the following configurations at N96L85:

  • StratTrop(CheST)+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with Restartability (NRUN vs NRUN+CRUN), OpenMP (1 vs 2 threads) and Rigorous build tests
  • StratTrop(CheST)-Columnar+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test
  • Offline oxidants+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test

Changes:

- HOUSEKEEPing is now a user-controlled step i.e. set HOUSEKEEP=False if you want to keep the model outputs even if all tests pass e.g. to look at diagnostics, print statements, timings, etc
- The atmos_strat_rigorous task now runs much faster (few minutes rather than > 1 hour) as the writing of restart dump is replaced with a 3-hourly mean output file for comparison

As in previous version a trac.log file is now generated that contains basic information on the suite-run and status of each of the tasks.

UM11.5 (Test Suite)

u-bo375

This is an upgrade of the vn11.4 suite and runs the following configurations at N96L85:

  • StratTrop(CheST)+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with Restartability (NRUN vs NRUN+CRUN), OpenMP (1 vs 2 threads) and Rigorous build tests
  • StratTrop(CheST)-Columnar+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test
  • Offline oxidants+GLOMAP+RADAER+Activate with PE bit-reproducibility (16x8 vs 8x12 PEs) test

In addition, at the end (i.e. when suite finishes successfully or is stopped by user) a trac.log file is now generated that contains basic information on the suite-run and status of each of the tasks. The contents of the trac.log can be directly pasted into a trac page e.g. as additional testing evidence while lodging code.

The main configurations carry out a 2-day simulation that requires between 15 - 20 minutes to complete on the Cray.
