[MITgcm-support] Adjoint model runnning?

[Hong Zhang]

The document  says generally adjoint running is about
5 times slower that forward model.
But in my case ( exp0, and only one indenpdent variable),
it seems 100 times slower.
The total size of the program (shown by 'top' ) seems dependent on
nchklev_1. Here are several cases:
nchklev_1=36,  SIZE=31M
         144,       49M
         360,	    85M
        3600,      623M
but for each case, the Resident Set Size (RSS or RES shown by 'top')
is only 9M. Can I load more part of the program into Resident memory
so it run faster? Have you ever met such problems? any suggestion?

thank you,
hong
