[MITgcm-support] ARCHER, cray, mpi and STDOUT

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Hi Dan, I think that one way to make sure that STD* files are flushed more regularly is via option

 debugMode=.TRUE.,

in runtime parameter file eedata.  I don’t know if there is a performance hit for that.  You should test.

Has anyone else had similar issues? Are there any settings which can be changed, or any other files which receive standard output streams and are updated more frequently?
