    2020# libIGCM # 
     21'''libIGCM''' is a running environment library which allow you to run a simulation on a specific machine by launching computing and post-processing jobs. 
    2122Detailed information about '''libIGCM''' can be found [http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/libigcm here].

     26all of  
     27'''XIOS''' (XIOS stands for XML-IO-SERVER) is an output library which allows you to manage I/Os in climate models in a flexible and efficient way. XIOS 1.0 is currently used in all of IPSL components. Here are XIOS main features : 
     28 * library dedicated to IO management of climate code, developped at IPSL. 
     29 * XML configuration file. 
     30 * attached mode (library) or server mode (asynchroneous transfer), multiple (sequential writing) or single (parallel writing) output file. 
     31 * NetCDF format.

    3139## IOIPSL ## 
    32 '''IOIPSL''' is an I/O library for the IPSL models. This library is not being further developed (except to fix bugs). The XIOS library will replace IOIPSL in the IPSL models. 
     40'''IOIPSL''' is an I/O library for the IPSL models. This library is not being further developed (except to fix bugs). The XIOS library has replaced IOIPSL in the IPSL models for output handling. IOIPSL is still used in IPSL components for restart and input actions.

    3442## Rebuild ## 
    35 Rebuild is a tool which allows you to concatenate a number of model output files (NetCDF). At the end of a simulation, files for each process are assembled to a global grid into one final output file. Rebuild is developed at IPSL and is a fortran code included in IOIPSL extended version.  
     43Rebuild is a tool which allows you to concatenate model output files in NetCDF format. At the end of a simulation, files for each process are automatically (thanks to libIGCM) assembled to a global grid into one single output file. Rebuild is developed at IPSL and is a fortran code included in IOIPSL extended version.  
    3644[[BR]]For each machine a Rebuild executable is provided in the shared tools folder. You can also compile your own executable adapted to your machine, see how to install [wiki:DocBenv#Installingrebuild here]. 
    37 With XIOS rebuild will not be necessary anymore. 
     45Thanks to XIOS output library (parallel writing functionality) rebuild will not be used anymore.

    6472# OASIS  # 
    6573 
    66 '''OASIS''' is a tool developed at Cerfacs (Toulouse, France) which allows you to couple different climate model components. It allows the synchronized exchange of information between the model components. OASIS is used in the IPSL Earth System model to couple NEMO (the ocean model) and LMDZ (the atmospheric model). The modipsl and libIGCM tools manage the OASIS' setup and compilation. 
     74'''OASIS''' is a tool developed at Cerfacs (Toulouse, France) which allows you to couple different climate model components. It allows the synchronized exchange and the interpolation of information between model components. OASIS is used in the IPSL Earth System model to couple NEMO (the ocean model) and LMDZ (the atmospheric model). The modipsl and libIGCM tools manage the OASIS setup and compilation. OASIS3 (sequential coupler) was used in IPSLCM5 coupled model. OASIS3-MCT (parallel coupler) is currently used in IPSLCM6 coupled model.
