2.4 Launcing script preparation

Sub-sections

The script ins_script that can be found in the directory util (Fig. : 1.1) enables the preparation of the simulation launching script. Help can be obtained with the following command :

rhodes : ins_script -h

Note that :

: Usage : ins_script [-h] [-v] [-d] [-t h] [-n f]
: -h : help
: -v : verbose mode
: -t h : target host_name
: -n f : Name
: Defaults : -t local_host

2.4.1 Plateform Identification

Certain commands depend on the computer on which will run the simulation.
These different commands, prefixed by a label specific to each machine are in the reference script AA_job of the Coupled model.

The different labels are :

#-Q- fjvpp for the VPP 5000 of the CEA (out of use)
#-Q- sxnec for Uqbar (SX5 of the IDRIS)
#-Q- sx6nec for Mercure (SX6 of the CEA)

The script ins_script enables to identify and select automatically the computer specific label permet which then must be kept in the launching script. The following commands must be entered to acheive this :

rhodes : cd STD_TEST/modipsl/util	Go to the util directory
rhodes : ins_script [-t sxnec]

2.4.2 Experience Name Parameterization

In order to give a name to the simulation and if no modifications were performed in AA_job file, the following option -n can be used as follows :
(Otherwise please see NOTE below)

In the example an arbitrary name was given to the simulation LJ31
NB : The simulation name can not exceed 8 characters

rhodes : ins_script [-t sxnec] -n LJ31

The launching script will thus be Job_LJ31 and it will be placed in the directory EXP00 (Fig. : 2.7).

The launching script will contain the following information :

Figure 2.6: Job_LJ31 header

NOTE :
If no simulation name was specified with the -n option and the AA_job file has not been modified, the launching script will be name Job_LO1.

rhodes : ins_script [-t sxnec]
