[MITgcm-devel] sx8 latest testing

[Martin Losch]

Hi Jean-Michel,

I don't know why the job on iblade did not start on the weekend, probably a problem with cron, I started on "by hand" to if anything works.

About the SX8: I think I found a solution to the many fails: I reversed the order in which I "cat" "NORMAL END" into run.log and the copying of STDOUT.0000 to output.txt, so that the cp is the last command in the job script. That should do it.

You new -norun flag does not work for on the SX8, unfortunately. I do have make on the compute nodes, but that make thinks it needs to relink and regenerate the executable, which spoils everything ... I don't know why I always have to deal with broken installations.

Martin
