Ocean Modeling Discussion

Thanks for that information! I've attached a warning note that my "guide" is now obsolete (should have done so long ago).

Just a quick note - that post is, unfortunately, fairly out of date now. I'll try to update it sometime soon. Just a thought for general consideration: is there anywhere we could store a virtual machine with a simple set-up people could use as a sample? I'd bet it would fit within a GB or so; it wou...

I suspect you're dealing with old code and a new MATLAB version. Try replacing finite with isfinite . < M A T L A B > Copyright 1984-2007 The MathWorks, Inc.

Update (2014-07-30): This guide should is obsolete due to updates of both ROMS and Ubuntu. As my work is not currently ROMS-centered, I am unlikely to attempt this exercise again. There are several useful alternatives and active projects discussed in the comments below. Having lurked here for a few...

I don't know if you've looked at these, but both MacPorts: http://www.macports.org/index.php and Fink: http://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en provide linux-like package management behavior for Mac OS. Neither appears to directly provide octant, but both may give you a much more streamlined ...

I'm an American currently working at NURC in that department (as a result of one of Rich's previous posts on this list) and would also be happy to answer questions. I'll be at sea for the next 6 weeks, but still in email contact. Craig Craig V. W. Lewis P: +39/0187 527 295 E: lewis@nurc.nato.int NAT...

1. What compiler?

2. Especially after you break out of the make, you should be able to execute: alone. You might also be able to "gut" it and slowly rebuild it to see where the problem lies.

This is somewhat consistent with my experience. I did get OpenMP BENCHMARK1 working at 4x4 on x86_64 Fedora Core 6, Intel Fortran, 4 cores, but consistently got segmentation faults with fewer tiles. I also ran into other issues that implied to me that the OpenMP code is broken. My suggestion would b...

Go to: http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net Click Download at the top. Go to the end of the page. Click NetCDF Toolbox . Download the preferred format archive: netcdf_toolbox-1.0.12.* . Untar/zip it. Follow the instructions in the README. I believe it needs the mexcdf toolbox installed, so your first attem...

Should anyone follow this, I was wrong about this: it looks like it may be a UNICOS specific module; hopefully a UNICOS NetCDF build will generate it? I did a lazy find and forget to look for typesize s .mod . typesizes.mod looks to be standard. Oh well, the NetCDF build info is still loosely correc...

Most recent and complete builds of NetCDF should include a netcdf.mod . Wherever you used to look for netcdf.h , check for netcdf.mod . Or, look for libnetcdf.a , then cd ../include and look there. I'm unfamiliar with typesize.mod , but none of my builds have yet required it; it looks like it may be...

On Fedora Core 6 with 2 dual-core Xeons and 4GB of memory (yes, stacksize is unlimited). NetCDF 3.6.2. MPICH21.0.5p4. 1) Trivial, but both gfortran (4.1.2) and Intel Fortran builds with OpenMP are reporting "Initial basin volumes: TotVolume" to have a different value than is reported for r...

My experience with several post-compile segmentation faults (at approximately the same point you experienced) was with Fedora 6 and Intel 9 on a 64 bit machine. Said problems have abated with MPI since I've gone through one Intel upgrade and several kernel upgrades, but I don't believe I've gotten a...

I'm firing up a ROMS 2.2 build on Fedora core 6 using the latest 64 bit Intel release (IA64 9.1????; NetCDF 3.6.1 built to match). I've read the previous comments about ulimit, googled my way around the bash and Fedora archives, and have yet to find a proper solution to what I believe might be stack...

Briefly, using g95 from http://g95.sf.net with Netcdf 3.5.1-16 downloaded through Fink, I've managed to build and run the upwelling case in roms-2.2 on my powerbook. I'll try to clean up the process a bit more, but loosely speaking, the minor pitfalls were: cp Compiler/Linux-g95.mk Compiler/Darwin-g...

Has anyone out there successfully compiled ROMS on Mac OS X using either of the free (beer) g95 versions? I took a very abortive stab at it and got some errors mentioning the include statements. The two g95 projects I'm referring to are: http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ http://g95.sf.net/ I'm aware of su...

Not sure if this has been reported before, but the scale factor passed from write_sta.F to extract.F (roms-2.1), or extract_sta.F (roms-2.2), does not appear to be applied. In my application, history and station files contain predictably different values (O(10^3)) for bottom stress in the same appro...
