Try spack-stack 1.9.0 on Hera for unifying python environment

[grantfirl]

I created a new modulefile to use an experimental installation of spack-stack 1.9.0 from Ratko Vasic on Hera.

To use:

• cd to the top level of ccpp-scm
• module use scm/etc/modules
• module load hera_intel_spack_stack_1.9.0

This load the spack-stack installation of python, although following https://spack-stack.readthedocs.io/en/1.6.0/MaintainersSection.html, I've created a new virtual environment using the spack-stack 1.9.0 python that should have every python package needed by any and all python scripts in the CCPP SCM repo. The environment is located in /scratch1/BMC/gmtb/ccpp-scm-software/spack-stack-1.9.0. To activate this virtual environment:

• source /scratch1/BMC/gmtb/ccpp-scm-software/spack-stack-1.9.0/bin/activate

SCM built and ran successfully with spack-stack 1.9.0. There was a deprecation notice while building that can probably be silenced or something.

SCM UFS case-gen script successfully created a case and the case ran fine with the virtual environment.

Commands used:

./UFS_forcing_ensemble_generator.py -d /scratch1/BMC/gmtb/Dustin.Swales/SCM/replay/rt_3252959/control_c48_intel -sc --C_RES 48 -dt 1200 -n control_c48_intel_C_test -sdf SCM_GFS_v17_p8 -lons 230 -lats 30 -fm 2 -vm 1
