Description

Context

For v4.0 the sn_cfctl structure was introduced to provide greater control over the separate log files that can be produced by the model (ocean.output, layout.dat, run.stat, trac.stat etc.). The task was not completed and some logic is missing which means some of the outputs can only be produced by using the old, ln_ctl mechanism (which doesn't allow selection of subsets of processors for output).

Analysis

The sn_cfctl structure contains six options:

      LOGICAL :: l_runstat = .FALSE.  !: Produce/do not produce run.stat file (T/F)
      LOGICAL :: l_trcstat = .FALSE.  !: Produce/do not produce tracer.stat file (T/F)
      LOGICAL :: l_oceout  = .FALSE.  !: Produce all ocean.outputs    (T) or just one (F)
      LOGICAL :: l_layout  = .FALSE.  !: Produce all layout.dat files (T) or just one (F)
      LOGICAL :: l_mppout  = .FALSE.  !: Produce/do not produce mpp.output_XXXX files (T/F)
      LOGICAL :: l_mpptop  = .FALSE.  !: Produce/do not produce mpp.top.output_XXXX files (T/F)}

In the current trunk (and versions 4.0 and 4.0.1) the controls for run stat, trcstat and layout work as advertised but the other three have not yet been implemented. Support for oceout is easily added but the mppout and mpptop cases require more intervention. These latter two were the original functions of the ln_ctl control (which activates the prt_ctl and prt_trc_ctl calls respectively) and to target these specifically will require isolating the different uses that ln_ctl has been put to since.

Recommendation

Control over the production of ocean.output files can be implemented with a simple rearrangement of nemogcm.F90 (all variants) to process the sn_cfctl structure before setting lap; i.e.:

  • OCE/nemogcm.F90

Implementing targeted control over the mpp output files will, in the first instance, be tried by converting all constructs such as:

      IF(ln_ctl)   CALL prt_ctl( tab3d_1=ua, clinfo1=' zdf  - Ua: ', mask1=umask,               &
         &                       tab3d_2=va, clinfo2=       ' Va: ', mask2=vmask, clinfo3='dyn' )

to

      IF(ln_ctl .OR. sn_cfctl%mppout)   CALL prt_ctl( tab3d_1=ua, clinfo1=' zdf  - Ua: ', mask1=umask,               &
         &                       tab3d_2=va, clinfo2=       ' Va: ', mask2=vmask, clinfo3='dyn' )

This needs to happen in many files so a PERL command such as:

perl -0777 -pi -e 's@(\s*IF\s*\(\s*ln_ctl)(\s*\))@\1 .OR. sn_cfctl%l_mppout\2@'  $file

can probably be put to good use.

Given the number of files to be touched by this process, the work will be done and evaluated on a fix branch.

Branch 2019/fix_sn_cfctl_ticket2328. See #2328. Replacement of ln_ctl and activation of full functionality with sn_cfctl structure. These changes rename structure components l_mppout and l_mpptop as l_prtctl and l_prttrc and introduce l_glochk to activate former ln_ctl code in stpctl.F90 to perform global location of min and max checks. Also added is l_allon which can be used to activate all output (much like the former ln_ctl). If l_allon is .false. then l_config decides whether or not the suboptions are used. 

   sn_cfctl%l_glochk = .FALSE.    ! Range sanity checks are local (F) or global (T). Set T for debugging only
   sn_cfctl%l_allon  = .FALSE.    ! IF T activate all options. If F deactivate all unless l_config is T
   sn_cfctl%l_config = .TRUE.     ! IF .true. then control which reports are written with the remaining options

Note, these changes pass SETTE tests but all references to ln_ctl need to be removed from the sette scripts.

11869acc2019-11-06T17:01:36+01:00

Branch 2019/fix_sn_cfctl_ticket2328. Changes to enable correct functionality for the sn_cfctl%l_mppout and sn_cfctl%l_mpptop options. These changes also introduce a sn_cfctl%l_oasout option to toggle the OASIS setup information (sbccpl.F90, only) which was yet another misuse of ln_ctl. The next step may be to remove most references to ln_ctl altogether and provide a single control mechanism. TBD. See ticket #2328

11866acc2019-11-06T11:16:45+01:00

Branch 2019/fix_sn_cfctl_ticket2328. Changes to enable correct functionality for the sn_cfctl%l_oceout option. See #2328
