MPAS-Developer Telecon:

Date: 5 October 2015
Time: 3:00pm MST

Call-in number: 1-866-740-1260
Access Code: 4978161

Agenda Topics:

  1. Core status: (Updates, Outlooks, Etc.)
    • Atmosphere:
      • Focused still on NGGPS
        • Optimization of the dynamical solver
        • Implementation of new physics
        • Nothing urgent related to a release
    • Land Ice:
      • Not much to report, mostly working on ACME related stuff
    • Ocean:
      • Not much to report, mostly working on ACME related stuff
    • Sea Ice:
      • Not much to report, mostly working on ACME related stuff
  2. Mesh Spec Document
    • Need to post
  3. Framework modifications in the works
    • Filter Infrastructure
    • Aggregated Halo Exchanges
    • Elimanating the mpas_constants module
      • Would like to remove the mpas_constants module, and instead specify values that cores can use for core specific constants modules
    • Creating a thread safe mpas framework
  4. Testing infrastructure
    • Ocean has 8-10 test cases
      • Test cases can be difficult to configure, since they are all different
      • Test cases should be configured based on things in revision control
      • Have spent a lot of time trying to set up test cases
    • Atmosphere typically stores namelist / streams files somewhere to configure test cases
    • Ocean has put together a workflow that allows minimal specification for test cases to be "generated"
    • Would like the model synchronized with the test cases
    • Trying to figure out how to synchronize the testing with our model
    • No problem making a testing directory at the top level, and in the interim, making core specific ocean / atmosphere / landice / etc. directories that can contain core specific testing.
    • Eventually, the test case infrastructure might be moved to a shared level.
    • Example branches:
