'''[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''.<br/>
 
The suite is set up to archive model output (to the MASS tape drive) and submit the next segment, so it can be used for performing long simulations.

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.

  +
  +
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.

  +
  +
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.

Rose UKCA suites on Met Office and MONsooN HPC


This page describes the Rose suites with UKCA that are available for testing

Disclaimer: The main purpose of these suites is for model development and testing with short runs. They should be considered as not suitable for Science applications.

Pre-requisites

Account on the Met Office Science Repository (MOSRS) for UM / Rose code and access to the Met Office Cray or the MONSooN HPC system.
Basic knowledge about Rose and its usage with UM.

For the initial Rose setup and instructions on using Rose on MONSooN, see this page.

UM13.5 (Test Suite)

u-df325

UM13.4 (Test Suite)

u-da940

Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): Using_the_UM13_test_suites

UM13.3 (Test Suite)

u-cy079

Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): Using_the_UM13_test_suites

UM13.2 (Test Suite)

u-cv931

Changes from vn13.1 version:: Support for running the suite on the Met Office EX1A system, which is the prototype for the replacement HPC expected later in 2023. Note that access to this system is currently only available to early users/ testers.

Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): Using_the_UM13_test_suites


UM13.1 (Test Suite)

u-cs478

Changes from vn13.0 version:: None

Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): Using_the_UM13_test_suites


UM13.0 (Test Suite)

u-cp551

Changes from vn12.2 version::
- UKCA code now sourced through its own repository: It might now be necessary to create branches on both UM and UKCA repositories, depending on which parts of the code are being modified.

Instructions for using the suite (vn13+): Using_the_UM13_test_suites

UM12.2 (Test Suite)

u-cm128

Changes from vn12.1 version::
- CRI-Strat configuration upgraded to CRI-Strat-v2

Instructions for using the suite (vn11.8+): Using_the_UM11.8_test_suite

UM12.1 (Test Suite)

u-cj707

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

Using the UM11.8 test suite

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.

Using the UM11.6 test suite

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.
