Building and Managing ACCESS UM Executables
This page aims to provide a top-level list of use cases and links to documentation about building and managing ACCESS UM executables.
UM Versions
- Status of local implementation of UM versions (MartinDix et al.)
ACCESS NWP build jobs
- ACCESS NWP Build Documentation Page (AsriSulaiman et al.)
- APS1 Build Documentation Page
- APS2 Build Documentation Page
Using Prebuilds
Interactive debugging
- Totalview debugging in Rose-Cylc suites (MartinDix)
Older material from this point onwards
Building UM small executables
Rose build jobs
- aa054 standard Rose build job for vn8.5 + GA6 branch (IanCampbell)
- aa059 and aa063 Stand alone Build Suites (MichaelNaughton & IanCampbell)
Building with code modifications
- where to make code modifications, and how to run fcm make2 interactively to re-build
- committing changes to um svn branches
- creating patches for passing changes back to Met Office
Pre-builds vs full builds
- ScottWales UMUI pre-builds
Compiler settings and versions
- debug / safe / reproducible / high
- what do they mean?
- what do we need?
Notes
- rmifdf -- Until recently, UM versions used ifdef's for different physics options instead of run-time switching, leading to requirement for separate executables for each application. Physics ifdefs have been mostly (completely) removed from vn8.5 (8.6) onwards, and coupled-model ifdefs will be removed at vn9.0, so from this point on a single executable for each model version can be used for all ACCESS applications.
- GA branches -- For GA versions up to GA5, building from special GA branches was required, as GA code was not fully included in UM trunk; from vn8.6 GA6 onwards full GA versions will be available in UM trunk versions.
- A shared SVN repository will be used for UM versions from later in 2014, which will replace the access-svn UM repository for developments from that version onwards (but not respectively for earlier versions). A shared Rose experiment repository is also planned.
