[MITgcm-support] 1D optimisation / optimization

[Nicholas Rogan]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on optimising model setups?

I’m currently running a 1D water column that i have adapted from a much larger global simulation setup that I worked on during my PhD.  I had a lot of custom code that I wanted to retain so I have ended up with a bit of a weird hybrid thing. I’m competent when running and adapting code but a little sketchy when building package layers from scratch. :)

Does anyone have any advice on establishing what packages are necessary and what can be trimmed when moving to a 1D setup?  I am using pTracers, DIC and whole bunch of other packages, which obviously have a lot of hefty routines, particularly the GAD routines,which are now largely redundant but could still be using a lot of model time.

Any quick tips or links to prior threads? Couldn’t find much when searching site specific in google.

Thanks!

Nick
