[MITgcm-support] error while writing pickup files with Cray compilers

Hello Jody,

sorry I forgot to mention that all my other outputs are in netcdf format, and they look fine.
The data file is attached.

Thanks,
Laura

Are you able to write any mds files?  i.e. did the T.000000000000.data file write?  Can you supply your `data` file?

Cheers,   Jody

Hello,

this question is relevant mainly for Archer user, but of course any help is appreciated!

I have recently tried to use Cray instead of gnu compilers, since the model should run much faster according to what stated here<http://www.archer.ac.uk/community/eCSE/eCSE03-09/eCSE03-09_White_Paper.pdf>. I have to admit I have not read that report in detail, but I hope that there are not particular constraints on the use of Cray compilers on Archer.

I used the linux_ia64_cray_archer optfile, as indicated in the report.

At a first glance, the model is compiled without any odd warning, and seems to run without any problem, but it crashes when writing the pickup file. This is the message I got (the whole error file is attached):

lib-5058 : UNRECOVERABLE library error
A read system call read less data than expected.

Encountered during a direct access unformatted WRITE to unit 9
Fortran unit 9 is connected to a direct unformatted unblocked file:
"pickup.0001752000.data"

_pmiu_daemon(SIGCHLD): [NID 02940] [c7-1c0s15n0] [Tue Apr 11 08:49:37 2017] PE RANK 69 exit signal Aborted
[NID 02940] 2017-04-11 08:49:37 Apid 26123498: initiated application termination


I am writing the permanent pickup file, and I don't have any temporary pickup file.

The only weird warning I have noticed in the genmake.log file (attached) is below, but I don't know whether it is related to the problem reported above:

running: check_HAVE_SIGREG()
cc -c genmake_tc_1.c
CC-513 craycc: WARNING File = genmake_tc_1.c, Line = 22
A value of type "void *" cannot be assigned to an entity of type

s.sa_sigaction = (void *)killhandler;
^
Total warnings detected in genmake_tc_1.c: 1
program hello

common /iv/ anint
external sigreg
call sigreg(anint)
end
ftn -o genmake_tc genmake_tc_2.f genmake_tc_1.o
--> set HAVE_SIGREG='t'


Does anyone know why the Cray compilers return this error while writing the output binary file?

Many thanks,
Laura
