To run parallel ADCIRC on the UNC cluster: written by RL 6/05/03 1.) get access to the Intel Fortran & C compilers and MPICH-GM libraries by typing imp add intel_fortran intel_CC mpich-gm this need only to be done once, when a user account is first set up. Alternative compilers and MPI libraries can be used as outlined at: http://www.unc.edu/atn/asg/scitool/parallel_setup.html 2.) in directory work, file cmplrflags.mk, uncomment the LINUX-Intel section marked for the UNC cluster 3.) in directory work, type: make all This should have compiled and created 5 executable files: adcprep, adcprep2, adcpost, adcirc, padcirc 4.) to run a serial ADCIRC job, create a directory with the required input files (e.g., fort.14, fort.15, etc.) and copy in adcirc. For a very short job, simply type adcirc to run interactively. For a longer job, submit a batch run: bsub -o screenout.out -q batch adcirc 5.) to run a paralle ADCIRC job, create a directory with the required input files (e.g., fort.14, fort.15, etc) and copy in adcprep, adcpost, padcirc. Run adcprep (interactively) and respond to various interactive questions. Submit a batch run: bsub -o screenout.out -a mpich_gm -q parallel -n X padcirc (Note, the X should be replaced by the number of processors to be used). For a very short run you can use the express queue rather than the parallel queue. Once the job is completed, run adcpost (interactively) to gather output from each processor into a single, global set of files. Note: the cmplrflags.mk in this directory works on the UNC cluster
