Configure GEOS-Chem Run

Updating paths for HPC

• I have downloaded GEOS-Chem inputs: /scratch/lfs/groups/henderson/geos-chem/ftp.as.harvard.edu/

• Your simulation will need to point to my input folder

Test configuration

Exercise 1: Update configuration

1. Revert to a v9-01-03-Release (`git checkout tags/v9-01-03-Release`)

2. Change paths for simulation

3. Change dates for simulation

4. Change dates for output

5. Should look like input.geos listing below. (... indicates part of file not shown) (i.e. find the locations of input.geos seen below and update it to match)

6. Disable KPP

Listing 1: input.geos (... indicates part of the file is not shown)

Test run script

• HPC uses torque to manage job load

– Each job is configured to request resources

– The resources used and assetts of the user determine when the job actually gets run

• Options/Resources can be defined in a run script

– any option in man qsub

– `#PBL -flag option` where flag is a flag and option is a string specified as valid for that flag

– the -l flag and -W are specieal and can be used with subsequent keywords separated by :

• Special commands

– `-W group_list=`: group is the group whose resources you are using

– `-l nodes=` where is the number of computers you want

– `-l ppn=` where is the number of processes per node

• Each job starts its own environment

Exercise 2: Create a run script

1. Open putty and connect to HPC

2. `cd /lfs/scratch/username/geos-chem/simulations/4x5/geos5/standard/`

3. Use `man qsub` to research and document the first 7 lines of the code below (listing 5: ringeos.sh). Enter answer in letters a-f below.

(a) ___________________________________

(b) ___________________________________

(c) ___________________________________

(d) ___________________________________

(e) ___________________________________

(f) ___________________________________

4. What does line 9 do?

5. Why do you think I put lines 10-13?

6. What do you think line 14 does?

7. Create a copy of the rungeos.sh in your `standard` folder

Listing 2: rungeos.sh
