My activity is aimed to develop a high resolution numerical model for the Gulf of Trieste (North-Eastern appendix of the Adriatic Sea) to obtain short term oceanographic forecasts.

Now I am updating my version to the checkpoint52 one, as suggested by Dr. Hill some days ago on the mitgcm-support mailing-list. Is this the best version to solve that kind of problems?


Hi Stefano,

Please try the following version:

  $ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvsanon at mitgcm.org:/u/gcmpack'
  $ cvs login 
    ( enter the CVS password: "cvsanon" )
  $ cvs co -r 'checkpoint52e_pre' MITgcm

MITgcm does build and run on Power4 SP clusters as shown in recent runs
of our verification suite:

http://mitgcm.org/testing.html
http://dev.mitgcm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MITgcm_contrib/test_scripts/ncar/

Due to some quirks in the AIX environment, you will probably have to
explicitly specify both the "optfile" and the location of GNU make using
commands such as:

  cd verification
  ./testreport -make gmake -of=../tools/build_options/sp4

If you run into build problems please send them to this list and I'll
help you work through them.

Good luck!

Ed
